Now that I've got one with my .257 Bob, as I've said, I'll hunt the box blind with my CVA Wolf, but the front blind has limited visibility to 40 yards and I think I'll use my 4 5/8" Blackhawk in .45 Colt, there. I've never shot anything, but paper with it. Load is 300 grain Honrady XTP over 18 grains or near abouts (have to look it up for the exact weight of powder as I don't shoot it very often) of 2400. Very accurate and powerful.
