I traded my .404J before I got to shoot critters. I'd had shoulder surgery and decided I didn't need it. Shoulder healed up fine, could probalby handle it now.
My BPCR 45-70, shooting the TSX 250 at 2,550 fps is a hammer. That bullet has a HUGE hp and is deadly.
I once shot a small pig thru the chest at a hundred yds. That bullet blew lung tissue out the other side. The far rib cage had fracture marks radiating from the exit hole, much like a broken window. The rib cage must have been pushed far enough out to cause those fractures. Weird looking. DRT, of course.
That same load blew blood and lung tissue out the far side of a WT chest, taking out the top of the heart. A fire hose trail of blood for 15 yds to the piled up deer.
Pretty amazing performance and pretty accurate. Those big bores can be more accurate than some may think.
DF.
