You'd probably get through and through on a deer broadside with merely 400fps at impact.

Information technology should perforate deer just fine. Even so, that doesn't mean information technology's the best pick of hunting ammo, IMHO. I wouldn't drop much below 750 fps for hunting, based on some ballistic tests I did with 45 ACP 230 and 250 gr bullets about xiv years ago. Penetration really starts to drop off once you become below 700. "I'one thousand gonna have to science the schit out of this."

Not for whitetail. Maybe the long way. Forgive me my nonsense, equally I as well forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

Not for whitetail. Perchance the long way. This goes back a few years... A friend of mine was the grandson of an old guy who endemic a rendering plant in rural WI. My friend and I were aficionados of the then-new idea of firing heavy loads in our 45 Colt single action Rugers, and ane dday we met at the rendering plant to shoot some dead horses to test bullet penetration. The horses didn't go far at the chiliad dead, but they were very recently dead when nosotros shot them with our revolvers. Nosotros were shooting 270-330 gr hard cast bullets at velocities upwards of 1350 fps... I hateful, we were pushing Linebaugh's limits. All of our bullets traversed the horses crosswise, whether through breast or guts. Which was disappointing, as we really wanted to recover some bullets and so nosotros could measure out them and weigh them and take photographs of them to testify the superiority of our bullets & ammunition. So we did eventually get some of our bullets to stay in one equus caballus, a big old Clydesdale gelding who was fairly long, the long way, equally long as we shot through the brisket and aimed for the hindquarter. The main event of that exam, at least for my part, was to stop hunting deer with 325 gr difficult cast bullets @1325 fps, which loads were hard on my easily, and apparently a tad more than potent than shooting through a whitetail, crossways or stem-to-stern, required. I've killed several deer since then with 260-270 gr cast bullets toddling along at anywhere from 900 fps to 1100 fps and the deer are no more nor no less dead than those shot with transonic loudenboomers.

The cited article is virtually loads for a Smith 25-5 merely these passages seem appropos. "...I have seen my married woman shoot two or three mule deer and about eight antelope now with a .45 Colt. The load she has used almost exclusively for seven years now is a 260 Keith slug at 900 fps out of a 4 three/4" Seville revolver. This will consistently shoot length ways and exit on mule deer and antelope at 100 yards. It kills in my estimation ameliorate than a .270 or .thirty-06 class rifle as information technology acts a lot like an arrow and doesn't excite the animal. They usually prove minor hitting reaction and trot off 20 to 30 yards. By and so they have leaked and then much, they are done. No whistles or bells, merely honest consistent performance. I have used this load on 2 antelope with exacting results. In my early on hunting years I used the same 260 gr Keith at 1,400 fps. out of a dozen antelope and one mule deer I take personally taken I can't see that it stops them one bit better than the 900 fps load."

I tried a rnfp on a whitetail buck in the lungs. Perhaps I should have just waited after the shot, merely i dont quit if they are still moving. I turned into goat rope that simply ended with a dash dorsum to my rifle. Where we cling to our God and Guns. Betwixt Pittsburgh and Philthy. The Alabama part of Pa!

There is no uncertainty you tin can kill them with the 270 SAA at 750 fps; but I like a little more velocity as insurance that it will wreck major skeletal structures and still get out. People were smarter before the Internet, or imbeciles were harder to notice.

When I moved to Texas and was invited to hunt a number of South Texas ranches with "large" deer about everyone used a 300 Win Magazine with a couple going the 300 UM. Actually?

I look my .45 will do too with like bullets and velocities.

Probably never even slowed down when it passed through at ~ 30 yards.
