Sounds interesting, currently my short range thumper is a Ruger 44mag carbine. It shoots good and has killed somewhere around 20 deer and about that many hogs, for what ever reason it seems to really like 300gr Hornady XTPs which is ok with me. I have only recovered one bullet and ti weighed 278 grains and was .82 inches across and under the hide after going through both shoulders. Killed 2 deer one morning with one shot with it. Buck ran behind the doe I was shooting at about 70 yards that I didn't see coming through the scope and double lunged both.
