That is some impressive terminal performance on the 45's. Off the 25 subject, but what are you shooting these hot loads out of (revolver, lever, singleshot)?. Very interested. I have little experience with heavy hunting type cast bullets but love the 45 Colt. I have a beautiful 1873 lever that won't allow me to shoot the heavy loads but have been curious about getting another to do just the type of hunting you're talking about.
Back to the 25 though, I tend to agree each caliber has a "sweet spot" when it comes to bullet weight. My 250AI thrives on the 100 BT also. They both handle other weights well, but there seems to be a niche for the 100's. It has been the most well balanced combination for me.
PS-My money would be on the 350 hardcasts
moving the bowling ball more than penetrating through it. You would know more than I. A fun thought. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
