The long answer is ANY .44 mag load will kill deer. The 180 gr hp’s ( while great for social work) will kill deer- but dont expect an exit. ( and as even .30-06 hit deer sometimes run- and tracking without an exit wound isnt fun- i want an exit wound) the old west .44-40 load was a 200gr@1200 flatpoint lead- and they consistently kill and exit deer- but not as quick as s good expanding bullet. The most common muzzleloader bullet is the 240 xtp- and yes the common 100 gr load is about same velocity as the .44 mag carbine, and it is well tested.</p></blockquote><p></p>
