| I haven't used a 44 for deer hunting, so this will be second hand info but just about any 240 gr JHP seems to be a very popular bullet. Loaded over a fairly heavy powder charge they'll take any deer walking. | |

| Paper patched 300 gr pure lead, 18.0 gr. of Li'L Gun, CCI mag primer. 1.648 OAL. Also my favorite load for hogs, cats, dogs, 'yotes, felons, etc. etc. | |

| The best i've seen is the Keith style cast bullet of 265 grains gas checked.I use 22.5 grains of 2400 with a magnum primer.It almost always drops them on the spot out to about 75 yards.The best place to get 44 hunting loads if you don't make you own is D&G Reloading.586-783-0873 | |

| Lee 255 grain SWC 20% lino / 80% WW 18.8 grains Vihtavuori N110 1450 fps 10.5" Ruger SBH. It is the only 44 Mag load I use these days,no handgun hunting here in Finland but this would be my load for deer as well. The alloy does not shatter, it expands a little and penetrates deeeeeeeppp... I would hit shoulder with this one, expanding bullets are better for lungshots but a proper shoulder hit with a stout cast load will drop a deer right there,thus eliminating the need for tracking. This load is scaringly accurate, these boolits really like N110. Aloxed, after all day shooting some Ed´s Red is all I need to clean. No leading to talk about. | |

| What I recamend is the 240XTP over IMR4227. I shoot a RUGER SUPER REDHAWK in a 7 1/2. They shoot great, and do the job! | |

| IMR 4227 gives great accuracy and decent velocity in my .44 mag guns. It shouldn't be overlooked. | |

| When I had my 7 1/2" Ruger Super BlackHawk 240 Hornadys worked well. Favorite powder was ww296, it burned much cleaner than 2400. One bullet weight I tried and will stay away from now was the 200gr Hornady hollowpoints. It ruins way to much meat being that light of a bullet at the speed it has out that gun!! Lost the whole front of a buck with a shoulder shot!! The entire area was bloodhshot from the hit!! I also would of liked to try those Speer 270 gr Gold dot loads, but they weren't out back then!! | |
