Re: Regarding Rossi and other 92s hunting with 44 Magnum

I've used it on whitetail, from various Marlin 1894's (Remlins mostly) and it groups 2-3" with a scope from a rest at 100 yards, and punches through the thorax both sides. Not exactly elk, but the only 'big game' I hunt.

Dunno but the BULLET would definitely be a hard-cast lead with the heaviest weight I could toss out at around 1,000 fps. That velocity seems to be the magic one for deep penetration with hard-cast lead. Probably 300 grains or more.
Ideally a load I could use in Redhawk OR Marlin 1894.
