[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 923239, member: 8358"] I believe that if the 41Mag had come on the revolver scene first the 44Mag would have died off. I have shot 2 deer with the 41 one at 40 yds and the other at 100 yds with my scoped Ruger Blackhawk single action. I had another handloader/hunter tell me with my 41 I didn't need a rifle one day when we were doing some plinking, me with the 41 and him with his Magnum Research BFR in 45/70Gov. This statement is a little bit of an exaggeration but not too much. I handload and only shoot full power hunting loads through this revolver. If you plan on shooting off the shelf factory loaded ammo the 44Mag is the way to go. Good 41Mag factory ammo is available but not as readily as 44. BTW, I think any Ruger revolver is SOB (slightly over built) but all I have are the Ruger single actions. The S&W revolvers IMO are slightly more accurate than the Rugers in every comparison I have witnessed but they are nowhere near as hell for strong. [/QUOTE]
