50-70 Shiloh Sharps Military Rifle

[bobw]

When your entrance and exit holes are the same size you have no expansion and the wound channel is the same size 1/2" with my 50-140. The 1 st doe antelope covered almost 100 yds shot broadside thru the lungs and the 2nd was not much shorter same gun same 1 to 20 alloy. Both mule deer I shot same alloy no expansion the buck 35-40 yds bled out. The doe 65 yds and needed a finisher. the 1 st antelope with my 45-110 was hit with a 540 gr ppb cast at 1 in 40 hit hard and went down on the spot. .45 cal in and 3/4" to 1" exit holes. Holes ? yep I hit him hard on the run and broke his spine at the back of the ribcage and the 2nd hit lower and forward of that. Target bullet alloys for targets and softer alloys for meat,worked a 140 years a go and still works today. If your rifle will handle a softer alloy without a accuracy loss inside of 200 yds then use the softer alloy the better. I have an original style chamber in my 45-110 it handles soft alloys just fine and at the price of tin that's not just fine but F'ng GREAT. bobw
