UPDATE: I'm going to use the .44 magnum and my 45-70 this fall for deer hunting. The bullet I have chosen is the
Hornady 44 Mag 225 gr FTX® LEVERevolution®. I'm using this same ammo with my 45-70. At the range I'm really liking the tight groups that I'm getting.

In my Smith & Ruger .44's I have killed a lot of deer with my hardcast 250 gr SWC pushed by 22 grs of #2400.........Elmer Kieth's old load......My favorite 44 jackted buulet is no longer made......The Remington 240 gr scalloped semi-jaketd hollow point. It turns critters off quickly.
