Just picked up a 44 mag and am curious what people consider long range with an open sight revolver. I'm looking forward to having another option when it gets thick and I can't get my rifle into action quick enough.
With a .44 mag revolver, you’re likely to find that long-range accuracy varies depending on your skill and setup, but most shooters consider anything over 50 yards to be pushing the "long range" mark with an open sight.
Hitting tight groups without a scope gets tough when you’re reaching out past 50 yards. I’d say anything over that feels like “long range” for open sights on a revolver. Personally, I’ve messed around with a few different types of rounds to see what gives me the best distance and impact. If you’re curious, a Burnsville MN gun store could be worth checking out—they’ve got a good ammo selection and some folks there who really know their stuff. They can give you some tips on handling recoil and sighting too, which can make a big difference.
