I think an apology is due from someone? Maybe - maybe not.
Looking at Hornady's website's ballistics here is the data for their 225 grain .44 mag offering:
Velocity (fps) / Energy (ft-lbs)Muzzle50 yd100 yd1410/9931240/7681111/617
So at 100 yards it offers 617 lbs of energy. That would be about the minimum limit I would put on a deer.
Now handloads are another subject entirely.
