If your state allows the caliber , you are good to go for any hunting you want to do within range limitations.
I have the 44 mag caliber and it is just wonderful to carry.
As an example I load 300 gr Cast performance bullets to 1500fps and get 2 inch groups at 50 yards. This is the first load I tried, some report groups as small as 1.7 with open sights. I use mine for bear protection on river float trips.
