Sure, tell that to the boys who settled the west,along with the hunters of the east.
Reading is fine, but the true test is when you actually pick up that weapon with a certain projectile and do it your self.
PRB kills just fine for me.
Jesh, Now it looks like i have to start shooting animals with round ball to show that they can kill
For you it may be fine, but for me no way. I base that on my experience---20 yards shot in the chest cavity coming right at me, boom flop 50 cal ml 177g PRB. Called my brother on the walkie talkie saying I got one, she went right down. Looked over at the deer and it was up on it feet, I had not reloaded, i thought it was dead. I never found the deer, even in fresh snow. No blood trail. So I will never use PRB again in my FL, and if they pass a law in Pa say PRB only, I will not hunt in PA.I now shoot Gold Dot 300g and they are super. Did you see Semi-300g pictures. Wow those long shanks and perfect mushrooms. So I am not talking about American history, I am talkin' huntin'.
Best Wishes,
