Assuming a muzzle velocity of 1400 fps, bullet drop at 600 yards is 45.5 feet with bullet velocity at impact of 723 fps.

So, shooting a deer at 600 yards with a .44 Mag handgun is possible.

I hit a beer keg once at around 200 yards with a 45 Taurus.

There’s video somewhere.

Pop.....wait for it....wait for it....Ting.

I was there, but I believe Elmer did it more.
