Been too many years since I shot target matches with 44's (60'-70's) so groups shot are long forgotten. And I last hunted with 44MAG's going on 3 decades ago for mule deer, elk and wild boar - mostly w/M29 and SB revolvers though and only rarely with my TC 44's. But they were easily all good to go as far away as I was confident I could reliably make a well placed shot for each circumstance with open sights. All else being equal how accurately or far away is entirely shooter dependant... a what Tom can do doesn't mean Dick and Harry can also do kind of thing. But the 44's can kill cleanly a longs ways if you're up to the shot.
