Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 44-40 bear load????

Let me clarify...the below test was performed using a revolver, however, the test was to demonstrate the impact velocity from a rifle at 100 yards.....not a muzzle velocity! The muzzle velocity from a rifle would be between 1,300 to 1,500fps.
