Keep thinking MH, and you'll arrive at the real distance:)
Rob, if you want to hunt elk with a 44 you can sure do it. Like everything else, there are limitations. But like whitetails, the big boys like thick places late in the year, and if you can find them or stalk them the 44 will kill them. Or you can sit water with the same result.
If you hit them ...
I have not doubt but that a 22 LR would have sufficed for my last elk, a cow at 20 yards who was staring at me in wonder.
