About the Henry .44/40 and my dad's mulie. When he tells the story he likes to say, "That buck was about 100 yards away. I pulled the trigger and had enough time to put down the rifle and finish a cup of coffee before the bullet hit the deer."

I guess velocity was not the .44/40's strong suit.

No, but it sure has knock-down power, and with proper sights it'll reach out there a surprising distance. I don't know what it was exactly, but the gun Tom Selleck carried in Quigley Down Under looked like it might have been a 44/40. More likely a .50, though.
