Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 44 mag or 45-70 for Iowa deer

I killed one deer with a 44 Magnum carbine. Beware factory ammo meant for revolvers--if you move it 300 fps faster, then bullet performance gets erratic. Don't ask me how I learned that.

Also, I learned pretty quickly that having 3-4 rounds in the tube is plenty. More just makes the gun heavier.
