Hi folks,

I don't come over to The Hunt very often, because I haven't managed to get out hunting for almost 10 years now. I'm going to be back home in Indiana for Turkey Day, though, and my brother-in-law tells me he's got whitetails a-plenty for me to shoot.

Indiana doesn't allow rifle hunting, but my 4 5/8" .41 mag Blackhawk is legal and fits in my suitcase (and I know how to comply with FAA regs).

Would you give me advice on 1) a cartridge for use on whitetails out of this bbl length (I load PMC's truncated cone SPs out here for black bear season, but I'm afraid the load would penetrate too much and expand not enough for the little deer); and 2) an fair-priced online ammo dealer that could get me a couple of boxes of that cartridge (practice, practice, practice) in a couple of weeks?

Thanks for your help.
