Marlin,.444
Most.444 Marlin cartridges shoot flatter than.45-70. A factory-loaded round of 265 grain will shoot at a muzzle velocity in excess of 2,400 feet per second, fall an average of eight inches at 200 yard and six feet at 400 yard, as well as drift approximately two feet in crosswind.

Marlin,.458
The.458 Marlin can be used as a versatile rifle, thanks to its short barrel and fast firing lever action. It is easy to transport and mount due to its short barrel. The rifle's reduced power with the.45-70 cartridge makes short-range shots possible. These rifles are often made into 458x2 rifles with Winchester 86s and Henry rifles. These rifles can withstand more pressure than a Marlin action, and are therefore quite heavy.

A-Square estimates the maximum MAP for the.458 Marlin cartridge to be 3.75" long, but this is still significantly more than the maximum case length. Reloaders have many options for choosing from.

How To
How to build deer blinds
A deerblind is a type hunting device used for hiding from game animals, such as deer, elk, and so on. The deer blind is a small enclosure of canvas or wood, often covered with leaves and branches. The hunter will hide inside the enclosure while he waits for his animal to pass. When hunting at nights, the hunter will often use a deerblind.
There are many options for deer blinds. Some blinds can be moved easily while others require a permanent structure. These structures are usually made of plywood, cardboard, plastic or canvas and metal.
The most common types of deer blinds are box blinds (also called box stands), which consist of a wooden box with a roof and walls. Boxes are popular due to their ease of construction and transportation.
A tree stand is another type of deer blind. Tree stands are made to look natural, so no one would guess they were there. Most tree stands are permanently attached with trees.
Ground blinds can also be used, which are very similar to tree stands, but are built into the ground. Ground blinds may be camouflaged with grass or dirt, rocks, or even sand. Ground blinds also sometimes go by the name "ground boxes".
There are several different ways to hunt with a deer blind. One way is to sit still and wait for the animal to approach. You can also try moving around to scare away the animal. You should be quiet and not move too much if this is the method you choose. This could lead to the animal thinking you're a prey and running away.
You will need to locate a spot where you can use the blind. Choose a spot that isn't likely to blow your scent towards animals. Also, avoid areas where people hike frequently.
Don't forget to learn how to set up the deer blind. You don't want your animal running away because they see you.
