If your wife is anything like the women in my family, she shoots exactly where she means to which means your 7x57 cast idea is sound. I love the post by waksupi.
All that said, I'd use an...

I like 300gn in a .44mag but it should look like the LBT at the bottom left. Or Lee 310gn in the middle back row.

The owner's mold is a 210gn found here.

I'd already gone to the site and messed around with the build your own feature but I don't have any pointers other than weight. I was hoping to punch in the perimeters you used to get an idea of what...

Deer do weird things. The ones I hate the most fall down, rest, then jump up and run away as you approach.

Who drank the first one, there in the middle.

Do you have a CAD drawing of this boolit from them? I just looked at their site and it isn't listed.

That's why you order more than you need from BTB. Only made that mistake.
BTB owner said load it up. I don't recommend this load but he did and I tweeked to my rifle and comfort level...21.7gn of H110. I have incredible accuracy and animals plant themselves on the spot...

Wide Flat Nose does better for me on game I want to eat. That said, I think it was bone not bullet, that fragmented. I'd use up what you have but I'd not make/buy any more hollow points. Look at it...

That will do very well. Cast .44mag is perfect for med to large hogs.

Prefer the 425gn myself. I tried bullets from the mold CDOC is talking about. The backstop shuddered with the impact. And it was accurate at 50yds! In the end, I figured I could get it done with...

Wonder if the Dad is thinking about a .44mag instead of the .243 for the kids first rifle.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
That looks like a great bullet! I love heavy .44 bullets and that one has a great flat front end. I have a mold that looks quite a bit like that but is 300gn GC.

Thanks for that link! I like large metplatselection. They just work.

Good luck, sir! I don't believe I have been so unlucky as you. Woods are full of deer every day I am not in them.

Awww, man. Who'd a thunk I had a bunch of marginal rifles. Now what?!
Tell my wife in order to explain the new purchases....of probably equally marginal specimens.

Deer liver and heart are eaten the afternoon/evening of the hunt. I was skeptical but my hunting partner has me hooked now.

300gn WFN in my .44mag rifle drops deer on their feet. I don't worry about velocity, just accuracy. The SWC is great on deer. And I don't think you need a 300gn bullet. I just wanted something for...

My Dad is coming up on some of the same issues. I'd never thought of handgun hunting until I read this. It just wasn't something we ever did. Shotguns only (by law) and then pistol caliber rifles as...
Lesson learned. I've had a few myself. Keep them, put a few unprimed cases in each soda/beer can and recycle for money in order to recoup you purchase. Or you can continue to disagree with 20+...

Sounds like great advice so far. But practice as you shoot is the best thing.
