Corbon .45 for Hunting (4/5) | Dec 24, 2008 | Steve Marks | Washington |
| I'm a Pistol Hunter and for years have hunted by successful hiding in areas known to be frequented by Whitetails. In the past I've always used my old Colt Trooper MK III .357 with a load of 15.5 gr. 2400 and 150 gr. Sierra Soft Points. This year I decided to give my new Colt 1911 Series 80 a chance, since I always hunt at close range (I'm a true sportsman, not a mile-off yahoo). A direct heart shot at 25 yards with a Corbon 185 gr. +P almost knocked the deer over. unlike the .357! When butchered, I recovered the bullet and found it to be mushroomed to .82", with no apparent fragmenting! So, if you like to hunt like a sportsman, there's a new use for your .45! | ||||
