[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1491335, member: 11960"] I always carry a revolver with me when hunting, but not for any sort of backup. It’s used as a short range alternative for when the rifle is in the pack while hiking in. The theory behind using a hard cast bullet is that moderate velocity guns like handguns kill more like a muzzleloader than a high velocity rifle; you want penetration to give entrance and exit wounds. Small calibers like the 10mm need the penetration to make up for a lack of frontal area. I’ve had excellent results with expanding bullets in the 454 Casull and larger. The Hornady XTP mag bullets are completely different than the standard XTPs you’d use in something like a 45 ACP or 10mm. Bullets like the Barnes XPB and the Swift A Frame pistol bullets are also very effective and offer both penetration and expansion and work very well on deer and black bear. [/QUOTE]
