said he took some really long shots with it. Well over 200 yards open sights. But the Auto Mags shot so flat and accurate it was easy to make the semi long shots.

I think you have a video of one of my shots with the 44 Auto Mag on a sheep. The shot was at 175 yards open sights if I remember right, maybe a bit less. And I was lucky enough to hit the sheep twice at that range. That was my longest open sight shot that I will never duplicate.

My favorite was the 41 Auto Mag. I hunted with it all over this crazy world. The caliber was simply the 44 Auto Mag case necked down to 41, and later on I copied it with rimmed 44 Magnum cases necked to 41 for my 41 GNR. And have hunted all over with it since then. Like a fool I let the 41 Auto Mag slip thru my hands when a fellow at a custom show offered me about 10 times what I had in it. I thought I could replace it. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened and 10 years later I am still looking for a 41 Auto Mag barrel. Those were the good old days.
