Thought I'd get Monday started off on a controversial note....
Our Georgia deer season is winding down. The rifle opener I marked by killing an eight point with a 1894 carbine, 30WCF, DOB 1941, and a 150g HCHP boolit. Last evening I closed it with an 1892 SRC, .32-20, DOB 1912. Load was 115g HCHP over a max load of 4227. Finally had a doe come into a range I thought the little cartridge could handle.
It did: 45 yard shot just behind the shoulder. She trotted off perhaps forty yards and tipped over.
As others here have noted, a hollow point boolit acts much like a Nosler Partition. The entrance hole was much more significant than the pencil-sized exit, indicating the hollow point portion mushroomed out and broke away.
Trust this finds all safe in the New Year--
