My perspective is from a brand new handgun hunter. I researched and bought a Ruger Redhawk .44mag that I'm going to hunt whitetails with this fall. I put a HiViz front sight on it and handload...
Nosler 240gr SP
Hornady 240gr XTP
Hornady 300gr XTP
All with IMR4227

Just like bow hunting I'm limiting my range to where I can put 6 shots into a 6" pie plate consistently. Off my Stoney Point sticks I hope to take it from 0 through 100 yards and work out my bullet drop within those ranges. That may be an overly optimistic goal with no optics but I'll see how I do this summer.
