I practice a little and I'm still a sorry pistol shot. But I wouldn't hesitate to shoulder shoot a deer at 50yds. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/65Hf7CTq/IMG-20220616-092234810.jpg)

Probably be using my 6 1/2” 657 “Classic Hunter” with 210 XTP’s. Another 657 is a possibility as is 8 3/8 629 “Classic DX” with 240 XTP’s, but I haven’t shot either one lately. Also looking for time to play with some heavy cast loads in .44 and .41 mags….we’ll see.

I have several of my .45 Colts ready to go as a backup for elk hunting, or for use on deer, varmints, etc...I have some Brian Pearce recipe handloads in the 21-23,000 psi range for my S&Ws. They launch a 270 grain Hard Cast pretty well. Picture is a 25-9 and a 625-7 Mountain Gun. ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49789896236_b82a1c345f_b.jpg) Very nice! Would you mind to share the recipes of these loads? How is the 25-9 sighted in? Does the front sight fit or did you probably have to replace the rear sight blade? I read about some difficulties of bullet placement due to too low front sights on the M25 45 Colt models.

Changed sights on my old Python.
Kensight patridge front and flat face rear.
Need to zero it.
Maybe tomorrow.
Got the old brass frame Super Blackhawk all put back together, ought to see what it does w some old Norma 236gr JHP I found.
That bullet is hard, zips right through. Even from a rifle.

Hook, load that hard bullet backwards and shoot it as a flat nosed solid if crimp groove is in the right spot for fitting the cylinder.

My .41 Magnum Blackhawk is going to get a chance this Fall. Hope you bloody it well and often Expat. Thank you, Sir. If I get one at 50 yards or less, we will make meat. I’m going to launch 210 XTPs at about 1400fps at the muzzle.

Yep, my .500 named “Donkey” is my main deer hogleg. If I’m doing a lot of driving or pushing, then the 610 gets the nod. Shot 4 out of my 7 biggest bucks with Donkey.

On a side note, to the proverbial question of "what keeps you awake at night?" for me, it's big Oklahoma bucks that out-witted me seemingly time, and time again.
