Anybody have any experience with cutting edge solids on deer or similar size game? namely their .44cal 240 grain solids, thanks.

Wrong bullet for the application. A solid like that is designed for maximum penetration on really large game. Deer benefit from expansion. You don't want a bullet that's just going to zip through, particularly on an animal as narrowly and lightly constructed as whitetail. The Barnes XPB is a great monolithic expanding bullet that does a truckload of internal damage. CEB also makes a Raptor for the .44 that weighs 200 grains.

that's what I was afraid of,the trouble is my revolver shoots those solids the best of any copper bullets I've tried in it.Oh well I guess it's back to the drawing board!, thanks.

Oh I know they shoot well! Have you tried Cutting Edge's Raptors?

not yet in the .44 any powder recommendations? I've been using 22 grains of H110 for the solids

Power Pistol served me very well. I was never able to get any consistency from H110/296 with CEB bullets. Having said that, with Power Pistol both the Raptors and the solids shot really well - very accurate.

thanks!I'll try it.

Magnum primers with that?

I didn't use them in a .44 Mag, but I would think standard primer in this application. At least I would start there.
