I was just wondering if any of ya'll have had any success using a 38 secial for deer hunting. I was thinking a 158 grain swc at 900 fps would do the job. In particular if it was loaded with a pure lead bullet and the range was short less than 75 yards. I have an old 5 screw model 14 masterpeice and thought it would be a blast to send that bullet into a deer. I don't see any reason it shouldn't work. This load goe thru 5-6 inches of green yellow pine why not thru the rib cage and heart and lungs of a whitetail. Any feed back would be very appreciated.
