I've taken a half dozen since with the .44. Truth be told....I'm a big single shot fan and have a tough time parting with my Comptitor or XP's. And with the short season in PA, I like the extended range and versatility of the rifle caliber single shots. If you notice in the deer pic there is one in the background...I shot it with the XP-100 .300 Savage at 160yds. Then minutes later the other one came through at 40yds so I plunked it with the .45.
