What is a realistic effective range for a .44mag rifle on average AL deer? Assume it has a scope, so we're talking capabilities of the round itself on a deer.
I know other calibers are a lot more ideal so we dont have to have that discussion, but I killed my first one with with a scoped 44mag lever action and have wanted one of my own ever since.
There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:
1. All Politicians Are Liars
2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft

100 yards maybe. There are much better lever gun calibers .

I really want a Henry Big Boy in 44 mag.
I keep telling myself that I just don't need one, and there's other things that I need to spent money on.
But my will power is fleeting.

I have a 444 Marlin and it is deadly at 150. BUT, will not shoot AT one at any greater distance. Just my 2 cents.

Jus sayin. I'm not calling BS but I used to be a fine pistol marksman and I'd have to say that's BS or some extraordinary luck.

If you gave me a model 29 and a box of ammo I couldn't scare a deer at 600 yards. I've always thought he was stretching the truth on this one.

Eveyone just doesn’t need a big bore. Most folk using excuse and limitations really are limited by their cognitive ability, they just aren’t good shots and are too lazy to mentally make it work. The “444 & 150 yard” comment for instance.
These folk should stick to a regular rifle cartridge, ballistic plex, and paper ballistic chart religious views
