text_original: I have never known it to fail in breaking the large bones of the largest bear or elk when coming in contact with them. For deer and antelope my 40 caliber is found sufficient, using 100 grains of strong powder and a particular express ball of 270 grains. It makes about a 6 1/2 inch curve in two hundred yards, and the ball flies very true. I use also in the 45 caliber the 44 caliber ball before alluded to, using three thicknesses of patch paper.
