This video shows the easiest method known so far for completing the final challenge.

Using a Mauser Pistol, without emptying the magazine as shown in the video, and without leaving aim, has resulted in unlimited magazine size 5/5 times attempted. Using snake oil/moonshine refilled the ammo in times when I left aiming as well.

You can also attempt this during a bounty hunting mission when the bounty is part of a gang whose outfit you have. For instance, for a bounty mission to find a Bandito gang member, you would put on the Bandito outfit, and walk right into the middle of camp. The gang members won't shoot until you pull your gun, so find a spot where you have 4 or 5 of them in a cluster nearby, pull your weapon and go into Dead Eye. Have medicine and an item that refills Dead Eye handy. Since gang members are a little tougher than other characters, you may be able to disarm them 3 times before they die.

An easy way to complete rank 10 is to equip an Evans Repeater, and then shoot until you have 1 clip remaining. Then head to a town with few lawmen, such as Armadillo, and then kill 1 person. This gives you 21 bullets to make six shots.

After level 5 the player receives an increase in ammo capacity for all your guns. Once he completes all the challenges, his Dead Eye meter builds faster as he kills enemies.

The only outfit this is necessary for is the Legend of the West outfit.
