good suggestions so far, I shoot a .444 since 1972, I've not had to track anything that I've shot with it, I hunted pigs with a guy that shot one (249lbs) with a 45-70 and I didn't see any difference in how it killed the animal, he finished it off with his pistol, on many deer that I've killed the .444 leave a fist size exit wound and jells the lungs, in comparisons with my .338 and 30-06 shooting into dry telephone books at about 15ft , the .444 penetrated deeper than the .338 using 250gr noslers and the 30-06 with 180gr barnes, the wound channel from the .444 was awesome, probably twice the size of the .338 and 30-06. that was with 240grs, I also tested 265/300/335grs in .444 and got similar results, the .335gr is a hard cast bullet that I carry when I hunt in grizzly country, (loaded cartridges are available from Buffalo Bore in the above wts). The only problem that I find with the .450 is that its a new caliber and no one knows how popular it will become or if you don't reload what bullet wts will be available, good hunting usahunter
