Ammo question

Post by timcondra1 » Thu Oct 20, 2022 9:23 pm

I have been shooting PMC bronze tcsp 240gr 44mag in my Henry. Seems accurate. Is this a good bullet for whitetail deer? Will it penetrate the shoulder or just the vitals? 75yds max shots. Thank you

Not knowing anything about 'em, I looked it up.
It advertises as a self-defense to a hunting round.

I would prefer something with a little wider meplat.
But I do hunt with a lot of cast bullets for deer.

It's description claims it as Vaquero said. I'd use it if you are getting good shot placement with it out to 75 yds. Let us know if you connect with a deer as to how it did.
