You just kinda got me thinking RC. I used to use that 400 grain Speer in the 45-70 around 1800. They were terrific bullets on deer. Kinda like a wad of bubble gum. I'd bet they'd stone a buck with some terrific energy of that fast expanding bullet at 458 sorta speeds.

What would be your pick for a deer bullet? Might try something with my Ruger #1 45-90.. That's kinda the next up on the loading block.
