Part II: Biggest bullet you killed a Deer with.

[Clackamas Jack]

Alright so the lightest bullet chat really took off. Lets hear the biggest and slowest cartridge/bullet you killed a deer with. I am sure we will have some 405 grain bullets out of a 45-70 in the mix.

F250

That is the right answer.

F250

So that's what, 42 million grains more or less?

Imagine a .577/450 Martini–Henry into the boiler room.

I imagine most of us have shot deer with the old 50 or 54 caliber conical muzzleloaders back before the inlines got popular. That’s easily my biggest and slowest.

Pure energy would be a 375 H&H mag for me but they aren’t “big and slow”. lol

Big and fast is still good. 378 Weatherby would be a hoot. Always though hunting Africa with a 375 H&H with an 7X57 Mauser would be fun.
