I have found that a 240SWC at 850fps from my charters, 255CPB at 1000fps from my Taurus 441T or a 240XTP at 1150fps from my Lipseys Bisley will kill anything I need to kill most of the time. I have bigger boomers that are reserved for bigger critters but jsut don't need them for the majority of my handgun hunting. That being said we are kicking around the ideal of a water buffalo by handgun but I will obviously use one of the bigger toys for that job. As a matter of fact I will jump right over the .44 Mags........ lets keep it fun boyz. reflex264
