    Winchester model 70s are great rifles.

    444 Marlin is a great cartridge.

    Can't really see any downside to that combination.

    Brass is readily available ... I'd start with Reloaders Suppliers

    Robert Walker in Tokaroa could supply you with some very good cast projectiles too.

    Cheers
