If you are looking for the best .44 Magnum ammunition for deer hunting, check out Hornady Custom 240 Grain XTP rounds. Here is a deer that I took with a Ruger Super Blackhawk pistol. Even as close as 10 yards, the bullet entered the deer, expanded, mushroomed, and came to a stop within the target. Because there was no exit wound, the animal absorbed the full energy of the bullet. Here is the bottom line and where research of application comes in. Much like self defense rounds, the best bullet for pistol hunting is one that penetrates at least 12 inches while expanding as much as possible. The idea is to transfer the most amount of energy into the animal with the greatest effectiveness, and maximize the hydrostatic shock. Hydrostatic shock or hydraulic shock is a term which describes the observation that a penetrating projectile can produce remote wounding and incapacitating effects in living targets through a hydraulic effect in their liquid-filled tissues, in addition to local effects in tissue caused by direct impact. The result? Deer dropped in its tracks.
