Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR Blooded the Shiloh!

Shot this doe at 100 yds this morning with a 511 grain paper patch load from the .45-100

Good job!
Where did you hit her? How far did she go before she droppped?

The exit is just in front of her left shoulder. She was quartering hard away and the bullet entered just behind the ribs on her right side. She went about 10 yds after the shot

Thanks for the info..

Believe it or not ,I had the same performance years ago with a 124g Speer Swaged .440.round ball out of a TVA Tennesee Poorboy muzzle loader.. I was shooting a stiff charge of 3Fg and I imagine it was going about 1,900 FPS at the muzzle .

I shot her at about 100 yards walking away over a wheat field hit her on the left side just behind the ribs and the ball when out the front of her right shoulder..:) She when about five steps and pitched over.

Those old guns sure could kill stuff. Your pic above brought back that memory..

How soft of an alloy were your PP bullets?

Pure lead

Cool, Congrads!

Congrats, nice shot and nice doe.
I have shilohs in 45/70 and 50/70.
Have been lucky enough to take an elk, two antelope, and a pig.
One antelope ran 50-75 yards, the rest dropped in their tracks.

Really over kill, but that's wonderful. Have a 45-90 waiting for a similar experience.

Pretty cool, huh!!! Congrats and well done sir!!! For 12 years the only rifle I hunted with was my Shiloh Montana Rough Rider in 45-90. Killed a pile of game with it and the farthest any went was a hog of about 220 lbs. It went maybe 10 feet. All the rest, all of them, dropped in their tracks. Two deer were shot facing on and penetrated completely lengthways, in the brisket and out the ham. That they crumpled is not an accurate enough description.

1minute, I think you'll really like your 45-90. I'm using a 480 gr. NEI bullet in mine over 80 grs. of the old GOEX "Cartridge".
