[QUOTE="bengineer, post: 1731398, member: 36951"] OP- remember every shot with a 1400-1800fps bullet is a meatsaver shot. No bloodshot means you can truly eat right up to the hole. Consider what Nathan Foster says about his 45/70 experiences at ballisticstudies.com. My experiences mirror his: wide nose bullet makes large hole, disproportionate to caliber, especially considering relatively low velocity. Study Veral Smith’s work to understand even more clearly. I use imr4198, a5744 and imr3031 mostly. I shoot cast ranch dog 350, 425 and LBT 450 LFN. I can soften or harden my alloy for varying velocities and terminal results. I use hard to break bones, soft for mushrooming. But remember, every 45/70 shot is a meatsaver! [/QUOTE]
