I've only killed deer with my 45/70, and of course it worked just fine. But... for bigger, heavier game, what's your choice and why?

Commercial ammo, or handloads, either way.

Love the voice of experience, but also very interested in well-reasoned opinions.

BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
