    Less recoil and a flatter trajectory there is nothing in NZ that needs more than a 265 - 300 gr bullet. The 45-70 is a lot of fun to use but has more power than needed with 400+ gr bullets its a close call but the 444 is slightly more versatile for my hunting. If going after NT Buff the 45-70 with a good 400 gr is better than 444 in my experiance. Both would work but bigger is better with something that can fight back.

    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
