[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1289690, member: 10178"] I once shot a deer at 111 yards with my Sharps 45-70 with a Lyman 405 gr flat point cast from wheel weights that actually weighed 418 grs powered by 70 grs of Goex FFG black powder. It was running around 1400 fps. The deer was facing me and with the open sights I aimed at the center of it's chest. When the smoke cleared it was on the ground. Upon getting to the deer I found that it must have put it's head down by the time I shot and the bullet got there. It hit the deer between the eyes in the forehead. The bullet made saw dust of it's spine in the neck and exited behind the left front shoulder then proceeded to hit it's left back leg just above the knee joint and shot it completely off. The bullet then hit the logging road that was hard packed sandy dirt and looked like a mole had gone down the road for about 5 yards. The bullet came out of the ground and went through a 6" thick pine tree about three feet off the side of the road. I lost track of it from there. These big heavy slugs just keep on plowing through things. :D [/QUOTE]
