Just looking for some suggestions on using a 44 mag for whitetail. I bought a Smith&Wesson 629 Classic with a 5" barrel from a friend that needed the money. Wasn't a planned purchase. Just wondering if this barrel long enough? What kind of range would I have, I know not much. Ammo suggestions? Would I have to put a scope on it? I figured I would try to use it out of a stand I have set up for bow hunting. Any discussion or suggestions appreciated.
