we can use straight walled rifles for deer in Ohio this year, so I am going with a .460...either 20' katadin or 24" MGM, haven't decided which yet...any recommended loads? All I can really find is pistol data
thanks
Josh

Josh,
Sunny's spot on. YES, Speed kills. But more-so on freeways and in the druggie world than in the hunting field. A dead deer or moose isn't going to care is that 250 or 300 grain bullet "should" have been going 50 feet per second faster. Fast and in a bad spot is a wounded animal. Slow and in a deadly spot will be a dead dear, cleanly killed. Now crazy slow like subsonic is an entirely different matter. I'd much rather be a hunting partner with someone like sunny, than someone whose primary focus is on bullet velocity being as fast as he can get it.
Jim
