    Default Re: Best .44mag rifle ammo for deer

    I'd consider bore specs in search for accuracy. For 44 mag the SAAMI specs the rifle bore a tad larger at .430" and .429" for the pistol.
    Most commercial 44 mag ammo utilize .429 bullets. Haven't bought factory ammo for awhile but see by a quick search some .430 is available in jacketed.
    I currently handload a 245 gr .432 cast with satisfactory results.

    It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.
