Re: Fun with numbers. .44 Henry v. .45 Colt

Where the animal is hit seems to make a big difference. Breaking the leg has been a bit more dramatic to me versus passing through the lungs while only breaking 1 rib bone. Not as much experience as many on here have, so my experience is just that. Mine.

Re: My long-range Pistol Range .. Oracle, AZ in the 1980's

Grandmother's farm in the Oklahoma Panhandle when I was a teenager was sort of that way. No other houses for ten miles to the North and the East. All I had at the time was a Ruger semiauto .22 lr, but I shot at some old stuff at around 200 yards as often as possible. Had a lot of fun.

Luck seems to favor those who practice and prepare. I am reasonably certain that he had practiced shooting at a distance. Buffalo tend tò move away from humans shooting them, and some shots were probably at a longer distance than would be ideal.

500 yards with a handgun is impressive. 500 yards with a rifle is tougher than most people can truly accomplish, and a handgun has a much shorter sight radius. That handgun must be well made to be capable of such accuracy.

The old Ruger Standard Model and Mark II were amazingly accurate. If you could see it, they could put a bullet in it. My best target off-hand (no rest) with a Mark II was 10 rounds at 25 yards that I could cover with a .38 Special case I picked up at the range.
