Hey Tracy. I use my Ruger 357 Mag with 158 grain bullets out to about 23 yards where my feeders are placed. I have knocked down 3 hogs and 4 deer with my 357mag. As you know I just purchased a Ruger 44 mag but I'm not sure what kind if distance I would have compared to the 357mag . My buddy that does a lot of hog hunting with pistols says he shoots them out to 40 yards with 200 grain 44 mag rounds . He home loads so he is pushing a pretty good amount of powder. I would probably feel safe out to 30 yards with a 44 mag but I'm just guessing..
