[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1366504, member: 1656"] A dead deer is a dead deer. Good job. Yes, the 200s are too light. I would not use them in a 44Mag. The 240s will do well for you in a pistol and likely pass through unless you double shoulder shoot it. Since they open well they do good damage and put them down. I've shot a metric ton (quite literally) of deer with them, out a muzzloaders and a Ruger carbine. With the carbine, getting higher velocities than a pistol, the most common result is that the jacket catches in the far side skin and the lead exits. I have a dozen recovered jackets like that. At lower velocity out of a pistol the bullet probably exits in one piece. [/QUOTE]
