I have 7 deer with the 44. The first year I hit one at 83 yards, solid hit. Long trail. After that I abandoned jacketed bullets and used only a 300 grain cast flat nose and WW 296. Four more with the 7-1/2" Blackhawk then one at 125 yards, and a second at 170 yards, from a 14" contender. Believe it or not that 170 yard shot put the bullet all the way through and ended with a 40 yard trail.
