Hi,
I am interested in hunting with a revolver. I've been using a contender and want to try something new. I have a early 90's model Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44 Mag. with 7 1/2 " barrel that i'm getting ready to send to SSK for a TSOB. I was wondering what the effective range really is? I will be hunting Whitetails at a maximum of 100 yards. I was thinking of using the hornady 300 gr. XTP. Is that really nessary? Also, I was thinking of getting the simmons 2-6 pistol scope. It is really inexpensive and I was wondering if it will hold up the the recoil? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks, Robert...
