I like moderate loads for distance shooting in the 44's and 45's. Lower recoil helps when it takes a cylinder or two to get on target grin

For under 300 meters my favorite is the .357 Maximum. Flat trajectory, moderate recoil and great accuracy in my Ruger Blackhawk. The 200gr bullets I load fall off past 300, and don't raise as much dust as the heavier 44 and 45 slugs, so spotting hits from dust blooms is more difficult.
