Hi Hippie,
I've killed a litlte over two dozen with the .44 mag in barrel lengths form 4 5/8" to 8 3/8". All have been handguns, but I'm gonna agree with everyone else. A carbine in .44 should be just the trick. I shoot 21.0 grains of 2400 or 24.0 of 296 behind a 240 grain bullet. I also have carried some of the 325 grain WFNGC and have loaded them to 1300 fps out of my Stalker. I've found very few loads that my revolvers did not shoot well. My two cwnts worth, but hope it helps.
