Thank you for the information. I will be hunting deer, antelope, and coyotes. I have shot my last elk, too much hard work getting them off the mountain. At this point I am gathering information, trying to learn as much as possible from people that have more experience than I do.
I shot a hog 20yrs ago with a 44 mag, at about 30 yards. Was using a 240 gr Black Talon Winchester factory load. Perfect mushroom, no exit. It worked well, but I know that is not the answer.
My only load I use now is my practice load....240 grain Keith style SWC with 10 gr of unique. I?m guessing 1100 FPS or so. I know this load would work for anything I want to do, but I would like something better. Thinking a hard cast 300 grain bullet at 1100-1200 FPS for my go-to load, but I would also like to find a jacketed load .
I am asking questions, trying to find a good expanding bullet load, mostly for coyotes, but I would also like to have no worries if I used this load on deer.
Again.... I?m gathering information, so I can make good, informed choices.
