Well then, for YOU, a 460 Wby. with 600 grain bullets should be a good starting point...I feel it loses a lot of energy and may not create enough damage for a quick kill at longer ranges. Call me what you will but I am the guy who uses V max bullets out of a 223rem for groundhog work because it usually turns them inside out. I want something that is going to destroy as much organs as possible so the deer doesn't run for 5-10min before it dies. I shot my doe at 60yards with a 300gr 45-70 bullet in the lungs. She stood there for about 60 seconds before deciding she was going to run. The more kinetic energy the better IMO.
The rest of us, will use a 44 mag. out to 100 yards with no problems at all...
