[QUOTE="tt35, post: 3002894, member: 25362"] I love this topic! I wrote an article for LRH about 100 years ago entitled [B]Fur Loads[/B]. ([URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/fur-loads.460/[/URL]) In it I mentioned that you can draw some conclusions concerning terminal performance on fur by relative performance on other species.
