I'm sure that some will disagree with me.

357 158gr @ 1200 wide meplate (big flat nose) 75 yards is max and that is reaching a bit.
41 200gr @ 1200 SWC or Keith style 75 is safe but begining to reach 100 canbe done but not by me,it should shoot a little flatter than the 44.
44 210 @ 1200 still not really a 100 yard revolver see above. There is load data and cowboy 44 specials available like the 38/357.

Personaly I never cared for the 44. The 45 Colt in a Blackhawk will deliver goods just as well. The 357 and 44 are avalible in carbines with the 44 avalible in the Ruger 10 series. I think I just sold me a 44.
