Oregon trails bullets

....At 240gr.s, seriously? If they shoot accurately and you keep the velocity up, there is no reason they wouldn't work even up to bear size critters.

Unless you plan on shooting through concrete walls to hit them, then I'ld say move up to the 300gr.+ range

You could hollow point the hard cast to make them expand.  then they would be about 225 gr and moving faster with less barrel rise.

They will work just fine. Because they are hard cast you
just have to change your point of aim. Instead of aiming
behind the shoulder for a typical lung shot you aim right
for the shoulder. Most people don't shoot for the shoulder
with soft points because it ruins to much meat. A hard cast
to the shoulder will put a animal down quick and there is
less meat ruined than a soft point behind the shoulder.
Give it a try I think you will be impressed.

As you can see from this pic, just how little bloodshot, from pistol shot through shoulder.  This was 28yds 45acp, took two steps.

I've got a few with 44mag too, bullet doesn't need to expand, just take out shoulder, the bone fragments, take out the heart and lungs.
