[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 845474, member: 10"] The most limiting factor to accuracy with that revolver will be you the shooter. I have the 44 mag and 480 Ruger versions and my brother has the 454. From a solid bench rest, 200 yards on a big game animal would not be all that hard. From field conditons, much more difficult and off hand, not a chance. To be good with a big bore handgun, you have to shoot them ALL the time, not a few times a year but instead a few times a month AT LEAST to maintain the feel for a big bore handgun. Not like a rifle. Anyone with basic shooting skills can pick up a good rifle and make accurate shots with very little trigger time. That is not the case with a big bore revolver, they have to be shot all the time year round. The handgun does have the potential to do what your wanting but in field positions, very few hunters are. To get 200 yard reach you will need a good optical sight as well. Open sighted shooting at 200 yards would be most impressive. I have never seen anyone that could do it other then the occasional lucky shot. [/QUOTE]
