RE: TC Maxi hunter or Maxi ball
This is pretty much how the folks at T/C see things as well . . . . they recommend the Maxihunter for deer size game, and the Maxiball for elk and moose. I have shot a couple of deer with the Maxihunter, and they appeared to have more than enough penetration for a rib shot on elk. Accuracy was adequate - not great - and was better with a Wonder Wad than without.
