You're a smart guy and what you did last night was very smart and brave. No need to apologize for being brave and smart. I experienced a kind of grieving when my career ended.

Re: If I Had To Make A Choice..... .375 Win, or, .444?

I'd keep the 375 for all the reasons cited above. The 444 is really a companion gun to the 44 mag and if you were to quit on 45/70 it'd be a good way to go. But as long as you have and load for a 45/70 there's no good reason to keep the 444 in preference to the 375. The 444 is a medium bore anyway, ...

One more thought about crimping 45/70, the need and technique can change depending on what arm you're using. For a single shot rifle no crimp is necessary as long as the bullet isn't loose. For a revolver you for sure want a good crimp to hold the bullet against recoil so it doesn't lock the action....
