Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Handgun bullets, hard cast vs JHP

Ive used the hard cast bullets in the 270-320 grain weight range for years in my 44 mag and 445 mags WHY?
well when I first stared handgun hunting I used 240 grain jacketed bullets and most lost jackets after impact,they killed fine but shreaded,most deer fell or ran only a short distance, the first few deer killed with hard cast wide nose bullet designed dropped almost instantly, since then Ive had a few run short distances but I always get exit wounds and much more consistant results so I use hard cast almost excluesively, as they cost far less and do an excellent job.
almost any wide flat nose design in a 270-320 grain weight will do if its accurate in your revolver.
both jacketed or cast work, but hard cast bullets tend to cost much less and be more accurate in my revolvers and I don,t find jacket shreads in the meat, having a bullet that drive strait thru and exits consistantly from most angles is a big plus as far as Im concerned
