    My Marlin CL1894 with a scope and a bench rest will do about 1.25" @ 50 with a 105gr cast bullet.

    You want a 158 gr hollow point doing at least 1800 fps.

    A 180gr, .357 bullet launched at 1700fps is not something that any medium sized game animal is going to walk away from at 100 yds.

    You said in your OP that you had a S&W 38/44. That's about as warm as you can get a 38 Spl case to go.
