I love hunting with the Singe Action Rugers, my new favorite is the Single Seven that will handle everything from the .32 Shorts to the .327 Fed Mag ammo. Adios, Gary

How long of barrel do you think you need on a Blackhawk 357 for hunting at 40 yards? The longer the better I’m sure but would a 4.5” be adequate? Ruger makes a 4 5/8, and a 6 1/2. When I said I was hunting with a 5" blackhawk, it's just because I was being too lazy to type 4 5/8, so I rounded. Yes, the longer sight radius would be nice, but a 4 5/8 barreled blackhawk should be fine out to 40 yards. Not a SA, but I don’t hunt with a S&W 460XVR. 325 cast semi wad cutter at 2150fps does the trick on everything. I keep it under 150 yards with a rest. Under 50 without a rest. You are playing a different game than we are. Nah. I’ve hunted with everything from 22 pistols to 45-70 Contender. I settled on the 460XVR as a hood all around hunting pistol. My varmint load is 200gr moving around 2300 I've hunted with cast handgun loads for a LONG time. I'm curious about the speed you run. Is it for the flatter trajectory or do you think it does more damage? Wide meplats do disrupt, but not like a rifle. In my experience, anything more powerful than a pass through is wasted powder. I've never noticed any rifle type hydrostatic shock in anything from .357 to .500 linebaugh. Not knocking you in any way. Just curious. My 393gr .476 slug will go through hogs lengthwise and not stop at 1000ish. Plus I dont have to dig the front sight post out of my forehead. I'm a single action junky. Recoil is totally different out of a double framed gun as you know.
