That said, if I find a 444 for the right price I'm sure I'll try to scrounge the money together for it.

I hope that you have a sturdy shoulder. Back quite a few years ago a friend had a .458 that he took to Africa. He shot a elephant and I don't remember what else. He insisted that I shoot it. I did, twice, and for a long time when I moved the shoulder, you could feel the calcium deposits that it loosened just grinding away.
I was a lot more recoil sensitive than him. His idea of target practice was to shoot a Model 29 with heavy loads.
