Re: 444 Marlin reloads?
Give me about 10 days until I get home and tell me which bullet weights intrest you and I can give you loads for a 444 from 207 grains all the way to 400 grains for cast bullets ! And as always these are loads that worked and were safe in MY rifles ! That would be great if you could do that for me....

Re: OT--Long Bow ignorance
Here is an old bear cub that I shoot from time to time it was made in the 1940's
It is 49 pounds and still shoots like a dream after all of these years.
I made the arrows I shoot out of it also. I Love Archery almost as much as I love Guns.

Felt great shooting a deer where so many other family members of the past had shot them.

The Deer was aged by Michigan DNR at 2 years. Weight was around 180-190 not exactly sure but it felt heavier
than the smaller doe I shot this year in archery season which went 150. I would say it is probably about average for a
Michigan deer of its age of 2 years.

The 32-20 is fine for killing deer. Take a look at my Great Grandfather here in 1912 with his 32-20.
It is an 1873 Winchester in 32-20 the gun was made in 1884. I am sure he shot many deer dead with his.
