Hi, I'm new to hunting and to this forum. Last year I went deer hunting for the first time and got hooked! I used a rifle but was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on using a long range pistol for deer hunting. I'm thinking 200-250 yards for range with enough energy to put a deer down but not with really high recoil. I have a .44 mag. but found that in open fields I didn't have enough range. If you hunted with long range pistols, I would like to get your opinions as to what to look for in calibers pros and cons. I'm leaning on a Thompson Center because of the barrel change feature but would be open to makes. Not looking for paper punching but for deer medicine in a small package. Thanks
