years ago i used the Barnes .50 Caliber .451" Diameter 300 Grain solid copper bullet.
using 100 grains of Pyrodex Pellets pellets this was also my first time to change over from powder.
i started with powder and a old 45 kit back in the late 70's.
back then this was my first inline gun. i shot many deer with it but racked the weapon
it took every skill my father had ever shown me to find each deer. plus a few new tricks
i picked up over the last few decades my self tracking.
here is a pic of a bullet from a deer i shot. i must say everyone of the deer did die and fast 100 or so yards
but finding each one was a challenge each time just a speck or drop of blood here or there
every 10 to 20 yards or so in the track or up high in a weed or small sapling like a smear of red.
this is the only bullet i ever recovered. this deer was hit in blade past in and out both lungs broke leg bone and
shattered blade in every direction posable in the meat. this is also why i stopped using it.
20 pounds of meat would be blood shocked and jelly filled only good for dog meat.
here is a older link to how times have changed and my load has changed and why. directly due to this forum
and all of its info from a well rounded solid group of pro-hunters and fellow hunter alike
all for free i might add.
new load and every deer hit for the most part the same right in the boiler room.
but these deer run off 3' to the ground or in sight and just fall over.
100 grains of 777 powder
TC shockwave 250 black sabot
209 primers

this load in my TC Omega 50cal, is a deer stopping machine. with less meat loss
and it is very easy to find a dead deer right in front of you LOL.
