I have had a lot of fun shooting .44Mag out of Ruger Super Blackhawk, 629, and a Old Vaquero. Shooting in the dry dusty environment, as mentioned, will aid in walking bullet strikes on target. Shooting into the setting sun, when done at very long distances, 300-400 yards, may allow you to watch the bullet flight with the v rings.
It is amazing what you can hit at distances of say 100-250 yards or at least come close to when you take the time to practice.
The best thing about shooting these longer distances is that it teaches you all about trigger control. A flinch when shooting at 150 yards will cause a miss of 15-20 yards and the hoots of your buddies. I like to shoot ALL of my handguns for some practice time at the 100-200 yard distance to see how my form is holding up. A Glock 27 at 200 yards can shame you quickly.
