The 240 grain JHP's will do just fine on deer that size. Later on when you get into reloading or experimenting with larger bullets you can work up a good hunting load. For now though, the Winchester 240 grain is as good a place to start as any.

Since you are just starting out with this gun I suggest you listen to the above posts very closely. Limit your range to 50 yards or less and do not take a moving or running shot. I know that sounds like common sense, and it is. But when you get out there you will have the desire to take that moving shot or to take that 65 yard shot. Remember, pistols can be very accurate but it takes practice and I mean a lot of practice. So take your time and take the right shot and the safe shot.

Good hunting
