Hard question to answer. A few nights ago I was rethinking deer kills. I have only seen one load that I never had a deer take a step from. The 370gr CPB from my 480. Using Hodgdon's little gun data it is running over 1500fps from my SRH. With a sample of 3 deer not one has taken a step.As far as the largest number of deer killed my 45 Colt Blackhawk with 300gr XTPs. Never lost one and they don't go far. I have actually lost count of kills with that bullet.

I was a handgun hunter, when handgun wasn't cool.....
