Guys,
Interested in grabbing a 'big' Marlin lever gun over the coming months and all my mental pondering is leading me straight to the 444Marlin.
Only question I cant satisfy myself about is which jacketed projectiles are 'elk/moose' suitable. Hunting will be in thick country where 100 yards is a long shot and for simplicity sake I need a good jacketed pill for our large Sambar deer (about elk sized).
In Australia I have access to most mainstream projectile manufacturers ... could probably get my hands on some 280gr Swifts as well ... but by golly the cost!
But for the limited amount of shots fired in anger at large game I'm happy to fork out for 100 'of the best' as they'll last a lifetime of hunting. Projectile must expand and go clear through on broadside shots, and dig deep on a raking shot when required. What jacketed projectile meets that criteria?
Cheers...
Con
