500 S&W in a rifle for deer hunting? What's your thoughts?

It will def take them out. Ive seen people who shot a deer in the neck and it rolled the head.

I think it would be a fun round and of I had $2ooo laying around I would buy this:
Big Horn Armory - Products.
Just my .o2!

You must not be hunting for meat huh? Lol

I used an H&R 500 S&W single shot for a couple years. Thing kicks like a mule! Popped me between the eyes once!

Meat damage is no worse than a slug.

I liked the Winchester Platinum hollow points for hunting deer.

Way to much for indiana deer. Much better off with .44 mag......Factory ammo expensive.

I use it in a handi rifle. The deer just drop.
It is only economical if you reload for it.
Have a nice baby load around 1300 ft per second that kill deer no problem
and it feels like your shooting a 20 gauge
not bad at all.

44. mag is the way to go and is more than enough to get the job done; 500 s&w ammo is pretty pricy, but if you reload might be less of an issue.
