Two very nice deer. I don't see a hole in either one, was the shot so close it just scared them to death?
I always liked the falling block style action. I had a sharps at one point but just couldn't carry that tank around. Maybe I needed a carbine version.
One of my new favorite calibers is the .45-70. I push a 405 grain bullet at about 1400 fps. It leaves big holes too. I have been thinking about increasing its velocity to 1500+ fps. Any experience with that?
