The .444 is too whimpy? Are you kidding me? It's capable of taking anything in North America with room to spair! Go to Corbons web site http://www.corbon.com/ and take a look at their ballistics tables on the two rounds. They load to about max pressures so you will get a good comparison of the 45-70 and the .444. Either one will do the job that you require and do it well.
