I want to do some reloads for my Ruger carbine 44 Mag. This will be for deer.Two questions: 1.I am a little concerned that the usual pistol bullets may not perform well with the increased speed that the rifle will give.It is the old question of penertration and weight retention.The pistol bullets being designed to open up at lower speeds -- will they open up too fast and fail to penertrate -- just not perform very well .

I think the Nosler Partition and Swift A Frame would be good choices but any ideas on something else that is less exspensive?

2. Second question -- would you go with hollow points or flat nose?
