RE: 480Ruger
@ 250 yds a 44mag (according to Remington Shoot!) has 567ftlb of energy @1031fps. So the 250 shot is sure possable, its the 14" high at 100yds that worries me. Just to much margin for error for me, but thats why I have to ol' 06. If I were to get a 480 or the 44mag it would be used in the 150yds range & bellow. I like the 94 win, the Super Redhawk would be nice but I do not have that much experince with hand guns.
Thanks
