Elmer Keith, who developed the 44 magnum cartridge and was a regular contributor to "Sports Afield" magazine and others, has CONFIRMED deer kills with a Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver with a 6 inch barrel and iron sights at 600 yards. Sounds crazy. But it's true. Had to be like shooting a mortar. Our boys in blue and grey would be amazed at the firepower we have today. Even with conventional weapons.
