Good answer.
Now, how much is a trigger job gonna run you? $125 plus $35 shipping......said the action would be butter smooth and trigger would break at a crisp 3lbs............Hb It's just money. You'll make more. Send it off, and when it comes back, you'll have what you were looking for. This, exactly.

Speaking of the 10mm... That was 50 yards, offhand, so I'd feel fairly confident at 40 with a rest, for sure. Nice target. Bob

I got those from a website called LETargets.com. I like them a good bit.

You appear to be old too. I remember old Slim Goodbody on the Captain Kangaroo show.

Accurate enough to shoot rabbits in the head and still powerful enough to kill a deer beyond 40 yards, and at .410 diameter it is not giving much at all to a 44 magnum, the model 57 in 41 magnum is more than enough....

Who remembers nurse Goodbody?

I have taken several deer with .44 mag wheelguns, most under 75 yards. Popped a small 8 pt with .357 at 50 yards. Where I shot him (on purpose) damn near anything would have worked.
Yeah, cranked up in a Contender, the .357 will zap em.
I think inside of 50 a medium weight bullet from a wheelgun ought to work.
.223..............just slapped a reddot on my Super 14. Yeah, it looks goofy, even moreso when in fwd position. Back it looks better IMHO.
Will post a pic after I fetch pizza.

Just my 2 cents, but why not try a SA .44 Mag? I have put lots of deer in the freezer with my Ruger Super Blackhawk with 7.5 inch barrel. I have DA .44's but I do not use them for hunting. I've always been more accurate with a longer barreled SA.

I like the Dragoon frame of the SBH. Have popped a few deer (makes a great groundhog gun too BTW). But I like a Smith N frame better. Like the SA trigger of my Smiths better, plus the ergonomics.
Did put a spring kit and polished a pre warning SBH........that one shot very well, but it was a bit on the light side trigger wise.
Last yr I had a minty 3 screw (bought for nostalgic reasons). Couple range sessions and I sold it for what I had in it.
Tastes can change.

I bought a Smith 629 5" to play with while i'm waiting on My Redhawk to get back from the Smith, I dont think I will try the super hot Buffalo Bore loads that I want to shoot in My Redhawk ( I dont think Buffalo Bore even recommends it) but I would like to shoot a factory load that will blow through both sides of a whitetail as I do love a good blood trail......Any suggestions? ...I have only killed 1 deer with a .44 Mag handgun, I used the Winchester factory 240gr Partition Gold load and it did not pass completely through on a broadside behind the shoulder shot @25yds.....I was disappointed in this performance......I imagine I will need to shoot some hardcast lead bullets to get My desired results..........Hb

An LBT type 250 LFN or WFN on top of enough Unique for 1100 fps will blow right through a deer, and the load isn't even hot. A Keith 250 will do it too, but the others I mentioned make bigger holes.
