Oh my goodness... You boys better quit your bickering or I'm gonna have to put you all in time out!
But while we're on the subject of PBs let me tell you this. I used them one year prior to using saboted bullets. I shot them out of my T/C Hawken flintlock in PA's late season. The PB I used was a 245 gr HP and the charge was 100 gr of FFFg Goex. I was positioned on a strip mine bank and by friend pushed a very large doe into me. She came through the brush and stopped below me at about 20 yards and the PB slammed her about center lungs. It was a complete pass thru, blood all over and she went about 60-75 yards. That big old doe dressed out at just a tad over 160 lbs.
I was happy with the performance.
But since then I've read too many horror stories about them that I am reluctant to use them again. But my friend plans on using 295 grainers on our NC hog/deer hunt in Oct. I'll try and take pics of his kills (if he finds them)..lol
