Another rifle bits the dust using smokeless

[Fogman01]

Kurt,
Before I got interested in BPCRs, I was shooting big bore handguns where I learned big slow bullets kill by momentum and a flat nose's wide wound channel not velocity. That experience prepared me to accept the difference between BP and smokeless and appreciate BP loads.
Too many people think velocity is the only measure of an effective load so they pack them full of smokeless. If Hornady's "HITS Criterion" means anything (not sure it does) it shows a 50-90 with a 600 grain bullet going 1300 FPS has about the same HITS value as a 375 H&H 300 grain bullet going twice as fast. I'll shoot my 50-90 any day before I shoot my .375! It killed my buffalo just fine.
