I have a Whitney Phoenix single shot rifle chambered in the 40-50 SBN that I have shot whitetails with no problems at all. As the OP said DRT kills. I use a 335 grain round nose bullet w/ smokeless and blackpowder loads. Very fun and accurate cartridge to play around with. Shooting game w/ a 100+ year rifle is very rewarding also. I could see that Saddle Rifle as a very handy woods gun too!! NICE.
