Hi Madmurh : As a bear outfitter in Manitoba, Canada, the 444 marlin is considered a great big woods,all round, one gun, and one load: deer , bear, and moose round in Canada with the factory Remington 240 gr soft nose . This is from experinced guides and hunters in Canada using the gun and not just reading about it. Most gun writers would have you believe big game animals are made of steel. The black bear is really a thin skin big game animal and the 444 marlin with Remington 240 gr soft nose is more than enough gun. It is a sure bear stopper right here, right now, type of gun, on all three animals. Consider that when I was young( raised in bear country ) the 30-30 and the 300 Savage where the most common bear guns at the time. The 444 Marlin is my favorite moose gun and will put a slug cean through both shoulders of the largest moose , with factory Remington 240 soft points . It has never falled me , even though most gun writters say it will. Me and the many moose in the freezer over the years, taken with one shot havests are still trying to figure out how this gun and bullet will fail ? Russ Popp bigwoodshunting.com
