Your range limits 45 vs 54 prb

[tenngun]

My self imposed range limit for hunting with an ml using prb is 100 yards. I have used only a .45 for deer. I have a .54 built for possible larger game. (black bear, elk) But range limitations, for me, remain the same. We are in this game for a variety of reasons. Preserving the past using antiquated style firearms is only one of them. My limits are partly because I remind myself we are using 30-06s. And, we don't race mule pulled buckboards at Daytona either.

I think that's an overall good fast rule. Ml are close range guns. It's archery on steroids. Get close. Only take perfect shots. Yes three hundred yard shots have killed people and game. All a Minnie were made to take a man off the board. It didn't matter if he was wounded or dead. Game deserves an ethical hunter who will put him down as quickly as possible. To do so get close.
