Using guns like that is kinda of like bow hunting you are looking for the almost perfect shot. Animal dropped with in yards of shot anyway. bullet direct hit to the heart from 70 yards. he used 140 grain bullet shooting at 850 fps out of the Benjamin bulldog. Good point yea I saw a guy take some type of African antelope that was much bigger than a deer on YouTube. The rub is had someone put out an article promoting hunting with a 9mm Rifle or Handgun firing ammo that is ballistically superior performance wise to the above fellow's Air Rifle it is guaranteed he would receive a pummeling of criticism. There is no argument from me on what he had to say because it is all true. Of course he pointed out that the ranges were relatively short and shot placement was critical. The author's choice is a 35 cal PCP rifle firing a 140 something grain pellet at 900 fps, he gave many examples of it's lethality showing a wide variety of game he has taken from Deer to Javelina and other assorted smaller game animals. So this morning I am going through the pages of the current "Predator" hunting magazine, there is an Air Gun column written in each issue and this month's article was one about caliber-weapon recommendations for hunting big game with an Air Rifle. I know they use to make carbines in 44 mag they should bring it back. 44 mag would be awesome in something like that. Maybe they will come out with even bigger calibers if they sell well. I definitely go with 40 s&w if I got one not sure even with that I would try hunting past 50 yard with the thing. I just don't hunt in a good enough place with crazy amounts of deer around to risk it. It's a cool gun for sure just a little to underpowered for me to take a chance hunting with I think. If it was the only gun I owned and wanted to deer hunt with it I would load my own hard cast lead bullets around the 115gn range loaded as hot as possible using a mold with as large of a meplate that will feed reliably.Ĭan yours hold 1 inch group at 70 80 yards? If not Personally I wouldn't even attempt to take a shot at a deer with something that weak at that distance. Will it work for a deer gun? If you’re willing to hold off and pass on all but the best shot opportunity’s then absolutely! Mine is way more accurate than you’ll ever be.
