This forum seems to have the most experienced handgun hunters ever. My question is,,,,,what handgun and load has been the most outstanding deer slayer over time? I think we all have one handgun that has risen to the top of the list for you. In my case it's a 475 Linebaugh BFR with 400 gr WFN at 1150 fps with HS-6. I don't have a 480 but, it would probably do the same.
