Cast bullet dumb question

I picked up a Rossi 720 5 shot, three inch .44 special the other day, figured a stainless gun might be nice for canoeing, fishing, yard work and occasional trail gun. And I don't have to search for .45acp brass in the snow. Anyway what would be your choice of cast bullet if limited to a 214gr. semi-...

Re: Deer killed ---is this bullet performance good?

Most of the HP bullets were designed with handgun barrel velocity, things get pretty fast fired out of a carbine length barrel.

Re: Deer killed ---is this bullet performance good?

One of my buddies went back to SP ammo after having the hollow points blow up on big deer, I think better penetration with the soft points would leave a better blood trail.
