sight distance
« on: October 12, 2009, 01:06:49 PM »
What distance do you sight in your G2 44 mag pistol to shoot dead on?  I'm wanting to shoot 280-300 grain cast bullets.  For now I am shooting iron sights.
Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

At the range I expected my longest shots to be.

I hunt deer with my .44 mag model 29 with 8-3/8 barrel. It is sighted in dead on at 75 yards. I do not shoot further than this at deer, I want good penetration and I feel at 75 yards, I am at my Max as far as energy and penetration go, using a 240 grain hollow point bullet.
