Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Small area caliber choice?

Archery would be the obvious choice. Bow or Xbow. Not a fan of the latter. But if you want a bang, i would shoot a 44 mag lever action with a defense load (wider hollow point). I shoot a lot of game w a 44 revolver with a red dot. I open up the Hornady XTP tips to 1/8" and 0,200" deep with a drill on a drill press. Bullet rarely exits on a shoulder shot and the wide hollow point aids in expansion and dumps them in their tracks every time if i hit the vitals. I bought a 44 lever gun last year to try something different.

But I agree with the ones that said to shoot from up high. only makes sense.
