I have heard they often will stand their or near the shot, if hit thru the lungs, then fall over. Anyone? Obviously head shots work.


Um.. I might have known a guy who shot a doe in the eye with a 1948 S&W K22 at 40 yards and dropped it..


That guy was a good shot......and that's a Classic K-22. Assuming a 6" which is probably most common.

Nice to see Mackay - guessing you read a bit of Bob Milek, Skeeter, and Keith back in the day? I know you were handgunning long ago. Seen you post mostly revolvers, any stints with XP-100s or TC Contenders? I played with TC's a good bit in college.

My 10" 30-30 punchd a clover leaf the size of a pencil eraser, 3 shots, 2x EER at 50 yds.....measures under .2 C-t-C. Oh, it was RP 150 Corelokt factory ammo of all things! Who knew!
