The proof of any caliber/cartridge combo is in the shooting. The effective range of the 44 mag is limited by rifle accuracy and shooter, not power.
I wish I had put it that eloquently. You nailed it perfetly. It is a shame that guys sit around and read charts. When they should be out practicing. Personally I have never seen a chart kill a single thing?? I can tell you how far my ground hog rifle drops at 800 yards, because I have shot it at 800 yards. Not because some charts said it should drop so much. Same as my 44 magnum and 45 Colt rifles. I have shot them at 200 yards, so I know exactly what they do. Tom.
