gunner, I believe you will continue to draw 0's. 750 grs. at 1365 fps? Methinks your adjective, "hellacious" not descriptive enough.!! I've not gone anywhere NEAR that big though my 45-90 with a 480 gr. NEI bullet at about 1200 fps has never been concerned with 4 ft. of whitetail.
LOL, Sharps45-90, without me sidetracking Sportsdads thread too much, I would NOT shoot a match with that rifle, for hunting it is a stone cold killer, fully agreed on your 480 grain 45-90 combo too, I put a 416 gr Lyman flat nosed greaser completely through a 5pt WT buck at 105 yards lengthways, and a 400 gr flat nosed paper patch three quarters lengthways through a rattled in 7 pt buck last year from my dinky 40-65 Sharps.
These rifles are for sure hide, meat and bone plows.
