40-70- 1 deer -0

[Rowdy Rick]

The 40-70SS delivered, big time, and gave a complete pass through. This got me to thinking, as the load chronographs 1295 fps, and the same paper patched bullet out of my 40-65 goes 1285. We may be overlooking a really good hunting round in the 40-65. I plan to try this 40 caliber paper patch bullet again on hogs, as it hits really hard and is both accurate and fun to shoot with minimal recoil in both the 40-70SS and the 40-65. Shoot straight, rdnck.

Bill, good job and nice deer! One of my clients used a 40-70ss GG on buffs and it was a one shot pass through the heart. Also as you know from our discussions I have used the 40-65 - 350 gr PP on a buffalo and 2 deer to date, all one shot pass throughs. In my old age and health it is quickly becoming my favorite "hunting" gun. Have never chronographed it so thanks for posting yours.

Let us know how they work on the hogs, I would be very interested.
