I have a great story for the .44 cal 240 grain Hornady. I used conicals and open sights, until a stand I had over an open marsh and I kept seeing deer way past my range. I mounted a scope on my gun (NEF) and bought the Hornady .44/240. I tried heavy loads and got big groups. I backed it down to 90 grains of pyrodex and it was incredible accurate. Last year I'm in the stand when I hear crunching out in the marsh and see antlers making it through the marsh grass. The deer made it by the last tree I laser ranged (130yds,) and the buck put his front legs onto a fallen tree and elevated himself above the grass. I held alittle high and touched it off. Bang flop. My neighbor came out to help me. 180lb buck, the bullet entered through the ribs left side, put a soda can hole through the heart, broke the right shoulder and was found just under the skin on the opposite side. I still have the bullet. My neighbor took a picture of the heart on his cell phone but I don't have it or I'd post it. Great round. 150 & 120 grains of powder = large groups, 100 grains was ok, 90 grains (3 thirty grain pellets,) was awesome. Good luck.
