CVA Blazer .45 240? grain TC MAXI ball , 70gr pyrodex P, a 35 yard shot though the high shoulders, deer ran a 1/4 mile before laying down. Next shot at oh hell, maybe 60 yards right behind the shoulder, deer got up and ran another 1/2 mile before going down!
No exits at all, in fact i never recovered the bullets in the animal while gutting.
After that Powerbelt bullets were available at the local stores and used them since. Only been using Thors the past 2 years.
