I've taken blk tailed, and also white tailed deer, moose and some others with my M29 S&W revolver, and also deer with my old Ruger 44 mag. carbine.

They do work, but you either break the amimial down, or wait for them to bleed out, as for the most part they don't transmit enough shock, to knock them down like you may be use to when useing a high powered rifle.

Personally, i like the 44 mag best, only because you have more choises of good hunting ammo for it over the others.

I have noticed there's an big improvement in useing a carbine over a 6" bbled revolver in these rounds for hunting.
