Steve , I have taken several deer with 40g off fffg and a .454 ball. Never tried it past 25 yards but never had to. A friend of mine uses his on hogs with no trouble at all.
In that book "percusion pistols and revolvers " one of the authurs talks about taking a Havilena with a .44. When the smoked cleared the pig was laying on the ground. The ball had entered behind the shoulder, traveled up through the neck and came out the other side.
It also talks about one of them seeing a man shot in the stomach with a Remington .44, the ball passed through , glanced off a table and through a cabinate door. They found the ball stuck in a loaf of bread. They got him to the hospital and he was saved but it took a long time for him to heal.
