Enough people have said in this discussion that the .41 shoots flatter and that the .44 doesn't really take over until you use heavier bullets that I dug out my Speer #14 to take a look. Using the short range tables in the back to compare maximum loads of the .41 210gr. GDHP with the .44 210gr. GDHP at 100 yards the tables say the .44 drops 1.9" less, is traveling 165 fps faster and has 178 more FP/E. None of that is going to make a difference to any animal you're shooting but it still is different information than what most people are posting here.
