SGDawg take a look at Buffalo Bore Ammunition for the .444 & 45-70. I was not able to beat their ballistics or accuracy with the 45-70.

The OP was 15 years ago. Hopefully SGDawg has decided in a cartridge by now

We had a Japanese client one year from Hokkaido who owned thousands of hectares and was allowed to hunt 6 brown bears on his land. He claimed he carried a 444 Marlin and it worked fine.

Phil (458Win),
What would you choose for a guided hunter rather than a 444? First and second choices please.
As always, thank you,

I have never changed my answer to that question

What is your favorite rifle ? and what rifle do you use the most ?

Load it with Any of the current premium bullets and bring it.

Some of the quickest kills On bears were from clients using calibers from the 270 & 7mm to the 30-06 and 300's

Even though we all "know" the 338's and 375's are better.

Phil,
Thanks for responding. My brain couldn’t retrieve your answer.
I have been attempting to order the book on African Cartridges but the website isn’t cooperating.
Also, making progress on the working rifle.
