What about a "Buffalo"
I read in an earlier thread that at least someone has taken pigs with a buffalo 1858, and a couple people have taken whitetails with a regular 8 inch. I was wondering how much more energy the longer barrel provided.
I was looking at the long barrel Remington for hunting whitetails here in Iowa, the range would be to a max of about 40-45 yards. I have taken whitetails at that range with a .357 and 40 S&W. I can't believe that a Remington with a hot load would have less power than the .40 at that range. Plus the buffalo has adjustable sights and a longer sight radius for even better accuracy.
Does anyone have some ballistics info for buffalo model Remington with various loads they can give me? Or even better ,first hand information on what kind of a difference accuracy and power wise a buffalo model provides?
