[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 838570, member: 25383"] with 8" barreled 629, I'd felt OK out to close to 100 yards. Yet would feel a lot better at ranges under 80 yards. The T/C's are solid 100 yard guns, and the .445 might go 125 yards on deer. The real issue here is accuracy. But a lever gun ought to give you an honest 150 yards with the right bullet and load. As for bullets in the 44 mag, I'm still big on the cast Lyman 250 grain bullet with a gas check. 1650 fps is about it with that bullet cast from #2 lead, and even then I get leading after about thirty rounds. gary [/QUOTE]
