Bgt a 1894 (year of Mfg) in .38-40 this past summer. Used it to take a big doe last tuesday. Heard the plunk' of lead hitting. Had to use Ultramax ammo as only kind I could find. I suspect its cowboy loads? 180 grain lead. Anyone know anything hotter?
BTW- read from old buffalo hunter books that an animal (deer and above) walks twice as far as it runs after being hit. That's what this one did.
