try a texas heart shot on a deer under 50 yds with a 44 mag pistol. last night i was tryin to find a mushroom with my reloads. im shooting a 240 gr speer jacketed soft point pushed by 22 grains of 2400. the book says around 1500 fps. my mushroom test has always been done with milk jugs lined up. i cant stop the 44. it went straight threw 10 jugs. my 270 only went threw 4!!!. so my question again would be if you would be comfortable takin a rear shot with this gun. thanks
