Recommend a good .44 mag deer load please!
I plan on taking out my .44 mag Winchester model 94 at least one day during deer season. Having been a true rifle (caliber) hunter for many years I could use suggestions on a good brand, bullet weight, etc., for deer. I will NOT have time to reload in .44 mag for the upcoming deer season.

Federal American Eagle 240gr JHP's are all I use in my silhouette pistol. Both for target and hunting groundhog and deer. It doesn't have the ballistic coefficient that the LeveRevolution has to keep a flatter trajectory - but is smoking fast and accurate. And is some of the cheapest stuff on the market too. ...which is a win-win. In 50rd boxes, not those silly 20-25rd boxes for the same price.
