Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .44 Rem Mag on deer???

I’ve killed quite a few with my Winchester 94 Trapper in .44 Mag, using the Hornady 240 XTP and H110. They usually run 40-50 yards with boiler room shots and leave good blood trails, with good exit wounds. That XTP is an excellent bullet, and I use it in my muzzleloader at similar speeds. It never disappoints.

It certainly killed them, but with this particular rifle, I limit my shots to 50-75 yards, even though I know it’s effective beyond that range.

I don’t use it much anymore, but keep it for its handiness and as a good self defense rifle.
