great info and pictures..good job..

i shot a 8 point with 20 inch spread that weighted 180 pds..real heavy deer..

i used my hawkins .50 cal flintlock,80 grs of 2f,powerbelt 295 gr.

shot was 20 yds, behind shoulder and bullet came out both sides..hole was size of aknickel on side it went in and on the side it came out, it was size of quarter..

no HOLLOW point bullet is going to go thru a deer if it hits bone and is driven a high velocity..

if you are shooting a deer at 150 yds,i can see loading gun at high velocity but using a different bullet than the hollow point..

but for hunting i do,all shots are under 100 yds..by loading at 80 grs,i get NO KICK, NO FLINCH,LESS SMOKE, LESS NOISE AND BULLET GO THRU ..

no way i would shoot a hollow point bullet in 50 cal above 90 grs..
