.45cal 2X PRB Field Test gets Doe for needy family
The Field test of the .45cal “loaded-for Bear” (two patched lead balls) that we understand the Settlers did from time to time worked perfectly as expected on a Doe this afternoon.
The load development back in the summer had the pair of patched balls making a small oval at 25yds, and a figure-8 at 50yds.
At 5:00pm a couple Does stepped out of the dense overgrown clear cut about 25yds down the logger’s road on my left side and crossed it, going on into the more open oak flat in front of me.
They were on a left to right heading that would cross in front of me quartering up and away at a 45* angle and when she got into the clear at what turned out to be 35yds, I whistled and they stopped.
I slipped the double patched round balls in at the rear most rib on the right side so they’d drive forward through the heart”¦she bolted and piled up 20yds away.
