i don't own a hand rifle, but treat my revolvers much like one. Firm rest, time, and it usually ends well. Long notable shots below, all with my 44 mag and 240 grain XTP from 629's (6.5" and 7.5") at 1290-1320 fps. first three with scope, last 2 with red dot. scope is gone now, red dot on both.

140 yards on a red stag - too far as no expansion. followed up at 120 and dropped him.
125 yards red stag dropped.
106 yard boar dropped
111 yard spike whitetail - ran a little.
120 yards on a black crow. fell into lake, flopped, alligator ate it.

Love my 44 mags.
would really like a 329PD with a 6" barrel.... but still no luck on that one.
