Small world indeed.

What year did you start using our bullets? I started the company in 89 in Nevada, and it was moved to Wyoming in 94. I hired Kelly in 99. He took over as manager when I quit and went back to gunsmithing in 2000 and bought the controlling interest from Milt Pugsley in 2002

What was the velocity of your load, and when media did you use?
Was you media at point blank or at 100 yds?

One thing that's not known by many is that our biggest bullets were the hand cast 540 grain WFNGCs and when they were fired at 1450 FPS they went DEEPER than they did when they impacted at 1900 FPS.
The faster load made larger diameter wounds in buffalo, and cavities in media, but they didn't ever go as deep. This is owing to the fact that liquids can't be compressed, and the slower bullets move meat and media out of the way, and the faster ones "splash it".
Once you get through and through wounds, trying to get more penetration is a moot effort. That's why cavitations is important too, but I am only pointing out to the readers the facts The idea that 45-70 won't penitrate like a 375 is just not true.
