Thread: Bush pig/light/short/packs a punch

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.
