45 acp... .40cal at 40yards...Beer can groups...ect..
What's the thought on a .41mag compared to .44m and .357?
Of course the .40 and .45ACP are simi auto and subject to the limitations of such, but the banter about them got me wondering...
My inlaw has has some darn long shots on hog and deer.
His longest on deer was 80yards...on Ossabaw. (small deer)
when I pack It's a 7" 686 .357 or a 7" RBH in 44m
(NORMALLY)I would not dream of shooting beyond 50 yards w/ either.. not so much on account of the E. but the accuracy.
Iron sights.
I shot the .41 the other day as my inlaw thought the ammo had gone bad (1987!) and was 2-3" off the bull at 50y
He has iron sights too and said perhaps it was him and not the ammo. He acted as if it were no big deal(my shot).
I don't know if it was or not. I rarely shoot at the range with the pistols...much less at distance as when I did, I had no spotting scope.
How does the .41 stack up? I felt that if I had more ammo I could have grouped them all day at that range...(felt...).
