Tips for a new handgun hunter you wish someone would have shared with you.

Tune your load at the ranges you will likely be hunting. Right now my revolvers will do fine at 25 and decently at 100. None of the 3 are great at 200 yards. I need to re-develop loads but I haven't had the time. My 7-08 Striker is fine to 200+ and my kid got his doe with it 2 years ago at 250 yards.
Also, shoot the heck outta that thing. I never truly got decent with a revolver until I was running around a brick of primers a month through my 586 for a spell. I know it costs money to wiggle the trigger, but the only way to work out the kinks and build skill is to get out there a lot.
