Good shooting 👍
I had an 1892 in 38-40 for a while, but the bore and throat were pretty rough, so it was never much better than a minute of paper plate shooter. Kind of threw my hopes for ever hunting with it out the window. I couldn't have dreamed of ever making a shot like that with mine

How long is the barrel on the 44-40? Looks like you could have stuck it out and tripped the deer.

Nice! Love to see those vintage Winchesters gettin' it done! So far I haven't pulled the trigger on my old .38-55 yet, but there's more season left
