[Mr. 16 gauge]

S&W M29 & Colt Trooper Mk III here....both with 6" barrels. You guys are better than me....my range is 25-30 yards. I have trouble consistantly hitting the vitals at 50 yards.
Never shot a deer with a handgun, but I've taken two rams and two hogs off of preserves with them.....the last hog was well over 300lbs and taken with a cast bullet load from my .44 (LEE 245 grain SWC-GC).
The bullets that I have had great accuracy with and liked to shoot are no longer being made...they were the Speer 3/4 jacket SWC HPs (225 grain in .44 and 146 grain in .357). Currently I am working up a 158 grain JHP load for the .357 to take it's place. I have a heavier (240 grain) load for the .44 using Hornady's XTP HP that I will use, as well as the 245 grain cast round.

Never had a chance to shoot a .41 magnum....always was interested in the cartridge (I have a penchant for oddball or underdog cartridges), but I never got a .41. Originally, was was supposed to buy a S&W 57, but when I went to buy it, the store had sold it already.....and the M29 was there in it's place, so it came home with me instead.
