RE: 9mm luger for deer hunting???
personally i dont think its a good idea, the otherday i was shooting my uncles 44mag which holds quite a bit more powder than a 9mm luger and when i was done shooting it i went to the sand pile behind my paper target and by just running my fingers through the sand an inch or two deep i found 8 of the 12 shots i took. I was shooting from about 25 to 30 yards. My point is that those loads just dont retain the energy they need.
