[QUOTE="Hunter5117, post: 139032, member: 799"] I sure would not argue that shot placement is the number one factor in getting an effective kill. And I am not a proponent of high velocity rounds for no particular purpose. That is why most of my guns purchased in the past 20 years have never had a commercial round fired in them, all hand-loads that I have developed for accuracy and effectiveness. I was only commenting that bullet choice for a tube-magazine rifle is limited in choice for what I consider a hard-to-kill species, with a narrow body profile and a lot of bone and muscle mass in the front shoulder area. Hogs shot in the head still run off on you. Of course, seeing that it is a 45-70, the impact alone should go a long ways toward dropping the animal right in its tracks. [/QUOTE]
