Just wondering the consensus is on the 44 mag for white tails. With a caveat, the rifle is a ruger number 3 with a reworked stock for my kids. Have 2 daughters who will be youth hunting in Iowa in 2021. We can use slug guns, muzzleloader or strait wall rifles. Like the idea of the single shot for safety as well as sentimental reasons. Most shots be under 30 yards with a max of 50ish. Can I get by with a regular soft cast bullet in a SWC pattern pushed around 1100fps? I’m pretty sure I know the answer but just looking for other input.
