Instead of hijacking another threat I figure I'd start this one. It seems there's a strong following with the hard cast bullets on game out of handgun cartridges. For this post, we'll stick with the 44 magnum out of revolvers just to keep in somewhat simple. I do not intend to start a "taste great/less filling" post but I am curious as to what everyone's experiences are. I have only taken one WT doe to date with a handgun and that was with a handloaded 240gr Hornady XTP out of a 7.5" Ruger SRH (44 mag) at 32 yards. Deer ran maybe 80 yards and fell. Performance was great in my opinion and accuracy is about as good as I can shoot. I don't have any plans on changing the load but I'm interested in everyone else's experiences as one deer just really is well...just one deer. Thanks
