Took a nice doe this morning with my .44, my first using bullets that I cast!!
Kinda cool!
18 yds, well placed 429640HP put her down quick.
pass thru...broadside/lungs.....not a lot of expansion (94-3-3) @ 1200 fps.

Greetings and Congradulations !
That first one with a home baked boolit is always a good one. I trust every bite will be filled with juicy memories.
Now I am a guessing.. Revolver ? Or maybe a 44 WCF in a 1873 ? Those would be my guesses based on the velocity.

Congratulations! Good shooting, with the best final result- venison in the freezer. Post pics if you have 'em.

Revolver used is the one in my avatar...SW 629 Master Hunter (scope only ver.) Leupold 2X
17.5/2400 Fed 150 Starline cases
Herret's Jordan Trooper grips...Exhibition Walnut (NICE!)

The Avatar target behind the revolver is 24 shots @ 50 Yds with this load, (12 HP's and 12 solids)
