I haven't benched my .44 RSBH but I used to be able to plink a gallon milk carton at 50m with it without missing. I am more reserved at age 57 because my hand shakes more now and my visual acuity is, sigh, getting worse. However, even firing 300 grainers, I just let the beast climb and arch back. No damage to me. Now, I have always gotten trigger kits or jobs on my SA Rugers. They are sweet.
