Quite true. Give me a good, flat nosed semi-wadcutter any day, even in a rifle. I'm not sure anymore, but that last bear may have been the last animal I've taken with the modern spitzer. I much prefer a heavily loaded .45-70 these days.

Come to think of it, I think I will stick to wild animals. Not sure I ever want to have to deal with this sort, or be anywhere where I might. The wilderness is a safer place...

I can see that. Sorta like the Moro tribesmen Black Jack Pershing and company had to deal with. We owe the .45 auto to that lot.

Assuming you can hit what little of it they actually use...
