I have a Ruger I hunt with. I shot one small doe at 25 yards. The round ball did not exit, and I did not find it. It probably came out when we gutted the deer. The deer ran about 100 yards. It was not very startled, and it did not run very hard. It was really a trot. I would limit my shots with it to 30 yards. It is very accurate out to 30 yards(2 to 3 inch groups). But then that is about it. It opens up after 30 yards.

The pistol "gunks" up very fast. Three accurate shots is it. You either have to clean it or stop shooting. I like to take it in the squirrel woods occasionally. I load three cylinders. Then I load my additional cylinder with three shots. After three shots I clean it in the woods. Or I go home. Tom.
