[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2003462, member: 9299"] Historically, I did a lot of IHMSA shooting with straight wall pistols, 38, 357, 44, 357Max, etc, and the rams were at 200m (220yd). I used both 6-8 inch revolvers and 10 inch Contenders. Once loaded correctly, they were very effective on steel targets and deer size and lessor game. Though the larger cases and bores do work well on elk also. I have pushed 9mm/45ACP handguns out to some rather long distances on steel, but never used them on game beyond 100 or so. For a few decades, I loved handgun hunting, and when I still can, I do occasionally take out one of my revolvers or Contenders. With the right loads, they can be very effective in well trained hands. Now, the necked rifle/wildcat cases take things into a different realm. [/QUOTE]
