    Unplugging patent breech? Loaded rifle…

    That’s exactly what I have done and would do. If it didn’t work the first time I woul try it a couple more times before I resorted to a ball puller. If you have to resort to a ball puller use a good range rod with a T handle and hook the handle on something that isn’t going to move and pull...

    Rifle plug removal, field removal

    This. The only time, so far, that I dryballed I removed the nipple, dribbled a few grains of powder into the bolster, replaced the nipple, and shot it out. I dryballed because I let someone interrupt me during the reloading process and missed a step in the process when I went back and finished...

    True. Proper shot selection is the hunters job.

    .45 Caliber: Deer?

    This. Shooting a deer in the brachial plexus will drop it in its tracks and is my shot of choice when possible with a firearm. Bob Deer and Deer Hunting did a good article on this in 2017: https://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/content/blogs/drop-a-deer-in-its-tracks

    .45 Caliber: Deer?

    I wouldn’t blame the .45 caliber for that. I once did the same for a doe as a finishing shot many years ago with a 2-3/4” 12g foster slug which also didn’t exit. It was a long time ago but I’m thinking 60ish yards from a scoped gun. I remember being astonished that it didn’t exit I agree with...
