I've killed white tails with both revolver and carbine in .44 mag. They work good out to 100 or 150 yds with the right gun & load. I've settled (for now) on the 240 grain Federal Hydra-shok hollow point for factory loads, as working best in both for hunting. I've tried the 300 grain hollow points but did'nt get as good a group with the carbine & the recoil really stepped up in the revolver.

I've killed several deer out of a 44 mag lever action. I'd like to report how the 357 mag does out of my gp-100 but the deer haven't cooperated so far

I should have mentioned that in the M94 I have to trim the cases a little shorter than spec to get them to eject properly, but I haven't had any problems with feeding.
