I couldn't find it either, but remember from hard copy regs last fall about the 6" restriction. Maybe it has changed, or maybe I was delusional...in any case, the expanding bullet issue remains.
It is, however, open to interpretation, as the regs compare lead and jacketed bullets to FMJ. A hard cast bullet will not expand, but may be interpreted in the legal category. Or not?

Be sure to look up the hunting regs in the state you will hunt in, as there are some really stupid relatively recent restrictions that might dictate your deer handgun.
Missouri, for instance, now requires the gun have at least a 6" barrel, and expanding bullets. In my early years in the state, my .44 with Keith 429421s was just fine. Not now. I can't seem to find that, do you have a link? I've not seen this 6" barrel requirement. Like Sarge, I'm curious where you found that in the hunting regulations? Here's a link (6 years old) that shows MO does not have a length restriction. Iowa has a 4" restriction and the post shows that accordingly. http://singleactions.proboards.com/thread/2975/minimum-barrel-length-hunting-america
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Crimson Tide,
I have an Accusport 5.5" Bisley Blackhawk just like yours. I use the 45-270-SAA loaded with 13.5 grains of HS6 for about 1100fps. Great deer load. To the OP, I have used a 629 with 240grain XTPs, and a 7.5" Redhawk with 225 grain Speer half jacket SWC hollowpoint to kill deer in Ohio. Any 200 plus grain load that you can hit a paper plate with at 40 yards should smoke a whitetail.
Ron Thank you sir, I'll try that load.

My 5.5 Inch stainless Bisley in 45 Colt, is the last handgun that will leave my possession. MUCH can be done with that particular pistol.
With all due respect.... GFY.  Jealousy, thy name is 4ager.....

A Smith Mountain Gun in 45 Colt is one of the top 3 revolvers Smith ever manufactured.

I finally got a chance to shoot My new 5" 629 Classic, I set the sights 1" high @25 yds and shot 2 different factory loads, all I had on hand was some Fiocchi 240gr SJHP and some Barnes Vortex 225gr XPB HP loads but I had some fun shooting three 5 shot groups of each load....The 240gr Fiocchi stuff averaged 2" for the 3 groups of of 5 shots (not bad) but I was pleasantly surprised to get 1" 5 shot groups out of the Vortex ammo...If this is an example of the accuracy this 629 Is capable of I think I will be very satisfied......Next I will try some of the factory loads that have been recommended to Me in this thread.........Thanks Hb
