I live in a shotgun county of Washington state (12-20ga. 00buck scoped muzzleloaders and revolver rounds over .41mag.) I use a S&W Stealth Hunter .44mag for coastal blacktails but my goal is ALL game animals in my state with this revolver. It shoots 225gr. Hornady FTX under 1"@100yds. the most accurate 629 I've ever shot. I just acquired a Rem.XP-100R in .270wsm so I can travel for longer range larger game hunting in eastern Washington.
