I too have used the 44 magnum out of a handgun to kill whitetail deer. Handgun has been a 7.5” Redhawk, and a 6” S&W 629 and the cartridge worked well. It should be even better out of a long gun.


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
