Usually your capabilities will fall short befor the 44 mag does. Not flaming you just think it this way. If you use a good hard cast bullet you can shoot through a deer or black bear all the way to 150 to 200 yards. Hard cast bullets are thing to behold. Usually people can't shoot acurately that far and I am one of them for me only 75 yards maybe just maybe with a perfect shot 100 yards. The 44 mag is devistating.
