how many of you would
try a texas heart shot on a deer under 50 yds with a 44 mag pistol. last night i was tryin to find a mushroom with my reloads. im shooting a 240 gr speer jacketed soft point pushed by 22 grains of 2400. the book says around 1500 fps. my mushroom test has always been done with milk jugs lined up. i cant stop the 44. it went straight threw 10 jugs. my 270 only went threw 4!!!. so my question again would be if you would be comfortable takin a rear shot with this gun. thanks

RE: how many of you would
If you're steady shooting that thing and know where to shoot it there is a good chance of hitting the spine on the Texas heart shot.
Know your gun and your target but above all know your abilities.....I'm not that good with a hand gun and wouldn't take that shot.
I dropped a deer in it's tracks with a .257 Roberts once that way..... Resting the rifle over a fence post and taking a careful shot works but the handgun is a totally different story. Be your own judge.

Just my opinion.
Personally I don't think shooting a deer in the rearend is
very smart or ethical. Giving it a cute name does not make
it any better. Again, just mine and hunters I respect opinion.
