Got my first deer with the 45-70 buffalo classic. I cheated and put a scope on it(sorry). Any way, Alloy is 2-tin, 4-antimony, 4759-27 grains @1350 ish, 300 grain round flat, sized .459, bevel base. Shot was at 90 yards and entered just behind shoulder and exit was the off side just in front of ham. Both lungs gone, he wheeled and ran 20 yards.
The only thing that almost went wrong was I was zero at 100 and the shot was down hill and guessing a 40 foot drop in 100 yards and the shot was about two inches high, luckily I was holding for a high heart shot but still resulted in a double lung. If I remember right, on that incline or decline you are supposed to hold low. No expansion at that speed and none needed but almost no bloodshot meat. I'm happy.
