Last evening of the muzzy hunt here in area 80(Ontario) I took this bad boy in a soya bean field. I was using a NEF Huntsmen with 1.5 power scope for lots of light and Hornady 44cal,300grn hollowpoint xtp bullets with 100grns of loose pyrodex.
I know its modern but I have used my cap lock and balls to take deer before,and I like the inline as there is alot of snow when we hunt and I have'nt had the misfires with the inline.
Anyway he was shot at about 90 -100 yrds on a quartering shot thru the lungs. He went about 75rds and dropped dead.
I found the bullet in his opposite shoulder, it had broke the facing shoulder and gone through the lungs,you can see the entry on the picture. So I weighted it and took a picture. It weighed 300gns going in and 275.5 recovered thats 92% original weight which I thought was pretty good.
