I read on federals website that their american eagle .44 mag 240grain jhp is supposed to have 1400 fps. Seems like a pretty standard load for hunting so I bought a box. However after getting it home and reading the bottom the box states Muzzle Velocity - 1180 fps.; Muzzle Energy - 740 ft-lbs. That seems a little light. Is this ammo still suitable for deer in my 5.5" redhawk?
I also have a box of sellier and bellot 240 grain sp ammo but assume its pretty light. But im not sure. They list the ballistics in some european measurement so I'm not sure how it stacks up. But they only offer one .44 mag 240grain ammo and I have it.
Which ammo of the two listed would you use for deer. I realize I am being picky but I'd like to hear input. Thanks
