We’re neighbors and I have a couple of Sevilles but no spare parts. If we need to pull mine apart to make a template for your replacement, we could do that.

I've spent a lot of time shooting my great grandpa's Charter in 22LR. Nothing to complain about with those guns.

The 2x Leupold doesn't feel like much magnification, but it's almost as fast to get into action as irons with the benefits of a single focal plane, finer point of aim, and better low light capabilities. I like the eye relief except on the earliest versions that seem to be a little short for my stance.
Still haven't found the perfect pistol scope. Not sure it's been made yet.

The indignation of the seller is a red flag that he knew what he was trying to pass off.

$2200 and $2300 which I assume is before auction fees, tax, shipping, FFL

That's the grown up version of the cap guns we all grew up playing with. Good luck with the sale.

I don't think the comparisons hold true for rifles due to differences in bullet design even within the same line and how rifle bullets are designed to function. Jacket thickness in a 7mm 120 grain ballistic tip may open up at lower velocities (AKA longer range, as velocity drops with distance) than a 120 grain 6.5 mm ballistic tip. For those bullets, there is no substitute for the real world data you're asking for.
If we were to limit the revolver discussion to the XTP line of bullets and cast bullets of standard designs, I think you'll get reasonable validity cross referencing similar calibers, with cast in particular.
I've shot whitetail to 100-150 yards with a 44 cal 210 and 240 XTP, and with great results. Bullets expanded, damage was significant, recovery was easy. H110 loads in the mag and Special.
Chris at Bayside Custom Guns has posted pics of cow elk taken at 200+ with his Frankenruger 357 GP100s, and he's a strong proponent of jacketed bullets. IIRC they were pushing 300 yards. The internet would collectively scoff.
Another way to look at range is by a measure of velocity. Distance isn't so important if you can make hits. The bullet doesn't know if it's flown 50 yards or 150 yards, given a load that's proven stable and discounting loads that prove themselves unbalanced when stretched to longer ranges, as some do. Since most revolver kill data is shorter ranges than you're asking, maybe look into the results seen by people who load their 41 down to modest levels for hunting. This is a great surrogate for how a hotter load would perform at longer ranges since you can measure or calculate velocity at 50, 100, 150+ yards in your chosen hunting load.

I made the thread so's I can hijack it. I gotta find some parts here on the property and send it to Andy so it can be better. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51822658431_fa0d2e531b_b.jpg) Horvath gets a pass for the jeweled hammers ![](https://i.ibb.co/TwPnHd9/IMG-8749.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/1R6XBzZ/IMG-8750.jpg)

You can extrapolate from 44 mag performance for any given bullet weight and design.
.410 vs .429 isn't enough difference to skew data on field results.
The further you're planning on shooting, the more bullet weight will be your friend. I load my 414 with 265 grain bullets typically but it's limited being a rebored factory cylinder rather than custom full-frame cylinder. Don't think I can fit 300 grains in that cylinder. For my part in the 41 or 414, I'm limited by my ability to compensate for bullet drop more than I am horsepower.

Pretty close to the perfect sixgun there. Linked pics: ![](https://i.ibb.co/TRJJ13W/i-Faq4j-H-d.webp) ![](https://i.ibb.co/gyFGKkg/OJYwlrz-d.webp)

Sounds like a good deal on a great hunting rig. Depending on your needs, you could swap that scope for a 4x or a 2.5-8x variable Leupold. If you plan to hunt with irons as well, you can upgrade the front and rear sights with Bowen and replace the rings with Alaska Arms rings. If you do this, you can use a standard holster and keep the scope on a pouch for when you need it. Of course, test for repeatable zero. alaskaarmsllc.comI build a small ledge into our blinds under the window so I can put a bag over the window sill and another on the ledge. that way the butt of the gun and the frame or barrel is supported for maximum stability. For the 44 mag, the 240 XTP and H110 are the standard hunting load. Of course, factory ammo or lead works well also but the XTP and H110 is an easy, proven combo. If you hunt without muffs when using rifles, you'll definitely need some electronic ones for hunting with pistols. Rangefinder if you might stretch your shots That's pretty much my setup when pistol hunting from a stand, plus all the normal stuff a hunter would carry. For walking hunting, you might find that acquiring a target even at 2x a bit slow. Iron sights have an edge for speed. Oh, and action work. Bradshaw's guide on this site will walk you through all the gun should need to be more shootable.

I need just one for an old Hart bench rest gun setup for Unertl style scopes. Not clear if he will sell one separate better PM to check.
