    Deer are like rifles. They all react differently to different loads. I’ve double lunged and jellied the heart of deer with 420 grains of putty soft lead moving in excess of 1,800 f/s and I’ve still...

    As WingerEd said, a 45 starts out at what a 30 caliber want to get to. I’ve shot my share of pigs and deer with wheel weights and they perform great. You don’t have the velocity of a high power...

    Warning, the internet is about to melt. If accuracy is what you’re after, don’t buy a Glock. Potential bulge problem solved at the same time.

    I’ll never have another Rossi. Bought an M92 in 45 Colt years ago. Would not reliably feed a Lee 255 or a Hornady 250 or 300 XTP. Groups at 50 yards ranged from 5-15 inches. I loaded it low and slow...

    Winger, I don’t think the stripping referred to barrel wear, but to the bullet not engaging the rifling immediately. I doubt that is the case either. Each rifle is a puzzle unto itself. Some may...

    You might also ask your local Bass Pro or Cabellas if they have black powder. It won’t be on the shelf, but vaulted up in the back. I know Cabellas in Hamburg, PA carried it and Bass Pro in Tampa.

    I do it every time, whether my Ruger Old Army or my 1860 Colt replica. I suggest if you don’t detail your pistol afterwards, at least clean the pawl channel with q-tips or pipe cleaners.

    I’ve used the Lee 255 RNFP on many deer and pigs without any complaints about penetration or performance. I really like the large meplat and the round nose reliably feeds in my lever actions

    What advantages are there to T7 or Black Horn over black powder other than being stocked on shelves? Three pounds of black and a hazmat fee come out cheaper than a pound of Black Horn 209.
