First successful day with my Pedersolli Billy Dixon Sharps in .45-70 today, took the first Impala ram just past 7 o’clock this morning @ 130yds with a shoulder shot, it ran 45 yards crawled in to a bush, I finished it off with 15yard headshot. No blood trail.
Got another one half past 12 at about 80yds, shot it behind the shoulder shot, it went down after about 50yds, and again no speck of blood in that 50 yards.
The boolit used is the RCBS GC 405 FP driven by smoklrss powder at 1700fps, why did neither of the to bucks leave a blood trail?
This is a major problem for me....
