My epiphany about "stopping power"

by Charles, Wednesday, October 24, 2012, 11:43 (4360 days ago) @ RangerBob

Last big mule deer buck I shot was with a Ruger No. 3 in 45-70. The bullet was the 350 Hornaday RN (much tougher than the 405 factory) over 53/3031 for about 1.8K fps. That was all my shoulder could take.

The bullet took him high through the lungs and he dropped in his tracks. The entrance hole was caliber and the exit hole was 1.25 inches. Range was about 75 yards.
