44 mag vs t post
« on: February 12, 2014, 03:09:20 PM »
Picked up a 44 mag  from Bad news Bob  and love it. Its in great shape and on a sb2 frame  To much livestock near the house with ground frozen to shoot of the deck. so I grab some loads an took it with me to chore.  Pulled in to a small hay field  over looking a ditch  ran a few 44 special through it and hit good ran different load down the pike hitting clump of grass and snow Then I  put my hunting load I use in my Marlin  and Redhawk looking for a target I seen a T post  marking the crossing in the ditch it was a about 75 yd  leaning on the hood of the truck I lined the post up bang   ding  lucky I though bang ding again got in the truck drove up  the hill to about 125 yd  leaning on hood again  bang  ding drove up to the gate I know this it right at 165 yards settled on the hood  bang   ding  sh.......t  I am hearing things I thought. I drove down to the crossing all 4 shot hit the post but ranging about 16 inch from top to bottom.  Thank Bob Great shooter   My plan was to ream this to 445 sm  but may rethink that           
DON’T get in a gun fight with a buffalo hunter there is no such thing as cover against a 45 70

if'n you got the windage figured in, the elevation is only a matter of sight height, and sight picture
 
You have the perfect shooting rifle.
 
Nice!

The 44 mag is much like the .357.  I didn't loose any accuracy reaming it to .445.  In fact it may have improved  somewhat.
