Re: Favorite.45 Colt bullet to be used interchangeably

Wonder what the results would be if all were using the same bullet, ie. 30/30 150gr FN, and all arrived at the game animal at the same velocity for said cartridges. Likely the animal would be just as dead. can't argue with that, but don't you think it would be more dead if shot with a Buckhammer ? ...
