[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 2008429, member: 10178"] Either will get the job done under your stated yardage. Like has been said shoot what you shoot the best because it is all about bullet placement. If you can hit jack rabbits at 70 yards with your 44 mag then you are ready to rock and roll. Any of the modern self defense type HP bullets will work fine. Hornady XTP, Speer Gold Dot and they have changed the name to Deep Curl on the 158 gr .357 bullet but it is the old Gold Dot. The Hornady 180 gr XTP with a max charge of 13.5 grs H110 out of my 10" barrel Contender has worked fine on deer up to 100 yards which is as far as I have shot one with it. Even Keith style SWC lead bullets worked pretty good out of my 44 mags and you don't really need to run them at high velocity. 1100 to 1200 fps will penetrate a deer from any angle usually. Good luck and have fun. [/QUOTE]
