well lets see,, you were shooting turtles heads off with that thing at 30_40 yards.. you could probably stretch it a bit past 100 for something the size of a deer.
like maybe 250 with just a bit of practice with a particular load.

I shoot antelope with a 250 grain swc at 950 fps from my 45's. It punches right through them out to as far as I can hit them. My farthest to date is 113 yards. Try to place your shot so that one or both shoulders are broken, and you'll find your venison without much looking. I had a lot of trouble with long slow ugly kills when I was just lung shooting like I did with a rifle. Most of my shots now are at less than 75 yards. I punch it through their shoulders, and they either fall down or stumble and flop for 20-30 yards and die.
I'll be a nice to you as you'll let me be, or as mean as you make me be.
Polite society started dying the day it was no longer necessary for rude men to physically defend themselves from the consquences of their actions or words.
