With a .44mag and at least 240 grain bullet and you will be fine.  I have used a .44mag for deer more than once using the hollow points they work well.

A 200+gr hunting bullet doing a 1000fps will kill any deer, elk or bear with proper shot placement under 100 yards period.

at hunters ed they stated 243 or larger was the law for big game so call it ridiculous all you want im just repeating what was stated, they also said big game is illegal with a hang gun.
Your instructor got it right. Hang guns were outlawed in the 1930s by the HANG act of 1937: "Hang guns Aint No Good".

Hand guns, on the other hand, are legal as long as they are .24 caliber or larger and have a 4" or longer barrel.
