Re: Second battle of Adobe Walls
I am not real familiar with all the old cartridges. Seems as if they were pretty effective when one looks at them with consideration for the technology of the time. I am familiar with the .45-70, and it still works well within its limits.

No experience with either one, but the one on the left has an older style taper at the shoulder. I am guessing it is Savage.

RIA makes a 10mm 1911 pattern with grips which do not get slick when wet like Glocks do. OK, it is only 8 shot, and has a hammer. Mine is more accurate than I am, but lots of guns are anymore. Price was less than a Hlock when I got mine.

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.

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.
