[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 897688, member: 10178"] I used to have a 50 cal pistol like that and used the same load but lubed the patch with spit. Was shooting one day at an old sand pit where people also dumped trash. It was notorious for cur-dogs to be dumped off here. I had just shot my rifle and heard something behind me. It was about a 40 lb dog that was not happy to see me. It was growling and advancing toward me slowly. I picked up my pistol that was loaded and as I turned toward the dog he started attacking. I fired as he came straight at me when he was about 20 yards away. It was like he hit a brick wall. He just dropped in his tracks. Bullet hit center of chest and exited just below his bung hole. For a pistol that is a powerful load. That soft lead ball turns into about a quarter size lead disk on impact. [/QUOTE]
