What gun and caliber for some reason I think I need more than a 44 mag but still uncertain as I read an article on how a 44 and a 460 can do about the same as far as some loads go and using half the amount of powder in a 44. So I need to know what caliber yall recommend and what gun (freedom arms out of my price range) i apologize for posting so much trying to get insight I just want to make the right choice as far as caliber and gun from more experienced handgun hunters. Thanks for any help!


I know what you need,,,, Marlin guide gun,45/70. And just a little more than 1/2 price of a ruger .454. Unreal.
You can go from mild to wild with this cartridge too. Kill elephants and anything else on the planet. Yes, I have one.
