this is just a few that i looked up. using a cast boolits, say a 270ish gr going roughly 1800fps, will take any deer down. the recoil should be like a 30-30 with 170gr factory loads. i use a 30-40 krag(1898spr armory) that goes 1800+/-fps with 165gr ranch dog that is like a 243win.
We shoot pistol caliber carbines in 44mag and 357mag mostly. My new toys for next year are an old Savage 340 in 3030, and an AR10 in 308. We shoot cast in the carbines, except the 44 since its a Ruger semiauto. The Savage will be using fp lead boolits, the 357 shoots 170gr SWCGC boolits, and if the AR10 will chamber them, I plan on trying the same ones from the 3030 in it. I may just have the use the j words in it though.
