I once killed a coyote at 110 paces with a Redhawk in .44 mag. I hit him right between the eyes. That is exactly where I was aiming too. This was when I lived in Western, KS.
It was out the window of a pickup. Although I knew it was a coyote when I fired, for just an instance I thought “what if I killed some farmer’s pet German Shepherd”?.
Yes it was a lucky shot.
And a great shot, nonetheless. Makes for a good story as to what can be accomplished with a quality pistol.
Did the same to a nice little muley buck with a Dan Wesson .44 at about 50 yds. He was DRT. Those 240s hit way hard. A good 300# boar black bear agrees.
