for years i've been shooting 44 mag, 240xtp w/max load of H110. shoots o.k. and has killed several deer.
recently loaded up some w/17.5 grains of 2400 and a 200 gr xtp to reduce recoil (H110 & 240 combo not much fun to shoot).
this load shoots very well (5-shot 1.5", sandbagged @ 65 yards) out of my 10" contender.
do you guys think this load is sufficient for deer within 75 yards?
don't have a chrono but am guessing maybe 1100 or 1200 fps.
right now, i'm thinkin yes and will probably try it this year unless you guys overwhelmingly say otherwise.
thanks
