I'm sure Sam Colt did know...

I think that was a wifes tale that just keeps getting carried along on the wind generation after generation. Made to be sighted in at a hundred yards? Heck....they didn't have much punch left that far away and Sam Colt would know that.
Probly why they all shoot high enyaw... :O) He knew what he was doin' ...

Now the zero thing is real, pick one up out of box and VAPORIZE a 1 gallon Water jug at 100 yards or Clang a gong. I believe there's plenty a zip left in a .44 RB...
But your right unless hunting or targeted, the fun zone is 10-25 yards...
Xlint read enyaw...
