Hey guys.
I've finally worked up my load for the Uberti 1876 lever in the bottle neck .45-75. I'm burning 32 grains of IMR 3031 which kicks the 350 gr. boolits out at a smidge under 1200 FPS. I am tickled pink - it's deadly accurate and the recoil is like a puff of breeze on the shoulder. I could shoot it all day long.
While it is a great target load... do ya think it would handle a good sized white tail at close range? Say - under 100 yards? Or maybe even elk? Or is that too anemic for the hunting field?
Any of you with experience in this regard - your two cents is sincerely appreciated. I'd like to take it out this weekend if possible...
Cheers!
