Does anyone have any experience hunting deer with the bigbores that are more powerful than a 44 Mag...are they any more effective/dramatic on lung shots?
I've shot a few deer with .44mag but never shot anything bigger than that.
Thanks for your responses...I have a few with a 44 and the deer always seem to run a ways, very much like an arrow with sporadic blood...I'm looking for a pistol that will routinely take the down quickly with lung shots

You would be better off using a 200-240gr hollow point than the JSP for deer. The 240gr XTP is my all time favorite in the .44 Magnum. The 225gr Hornady FTX should give you the expansion you are not getting with the JSP and shorter recoveries.

I hunt with a .45 Colt using full power reloads and a couple of different .44 Magnum handguns and have a few friends that hunt with similar setups. I've never noticed a big difference between the two on any shot placement.

I'm waiting on delivery of some 240 gr SWC Keith style bullets from MBC. I plan shooting them from a 7.5" Super Blackhawk over 19 gr of 2400. This should put me at about 1200/fps. Looking forward to see how they perform on the whitetails I hunt.
Following closely on this.
Was thinking of a ~~200gr xtp loaded hot out of a 7.5" Blackhawk this fall. 44mag
Input?
