My Gosh, it has been almost ten years since Bob came out and schooled me (and I think a few others) on long range revolver work.
Thanks Mackay for the resurrection.
I think we can expect Bob to make another run through Idaho this coming Summer. I know I am looking forward to more adventures. And I am sure we will lay waste to many more badger mounds at surprising distances.

Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

Give me? He left a very nice "Wolf Eyes" flashlight as thanks for hospitality.
Is that what you meant?

The main limitation, as I see it, is that the .44 mag is NOT a long range cartridge, even in a rifle. Making hits at 200 - 300 yards (or more) would involve a heck of a lot of "Kentucky Windage", and the bullet would not have a lot of energy at those ranges. . I've knocked over a *lot* of 40 lb steel rams at 200 meters with .44 magnums and it didn't require any Kentucky windage at all. I just knew where to dial the sights in.

It is still much fun to drop rounds in and watch dirt fly from a gopher or badger mound at 600 to 800 yds with a 4 inch 41 mag, or even a SBH hunter Next time I'll try the 1911s in 10mm and 38 super. It is not a big deal. Anyone can do it. All they need do is understand that they can, and then try.

Someone will first have to point me in the direction facing the barn.
