Now this deer was shot with my 45-70 BFR behind the left shoulder but it exited through the right shoulder. I was at .454 velocity with a 420 gr boolit too soft, cast from 50-50 WW's and pure with a hollow point. The shoulder was ruined and more or less pulled off when I skinned. Then I shot one with a hard WFN, it went 100 yards before I found blood and went over 200 yards. It was hit about the same. That is why I say you need to work with the boolit. The revolver can do as much damage as a magnum rifle or fail too. I am still not right with this gun so I did not hunt with it this season. The 300 gr Hornady worked best so far. But I like cast.
