Ok! Ok! I've been trying not to post into this thread but here goes.
One time coming out of the range i saw a grouse walking along the driveway. Mind you that i am still well inside the gate, still on private property. So i figure i'll take a shot at it. Well, i had just broken the extractor on my .45, now i have a beautiful single shot pistol. But i reckon that will work so i stop the car, jump out, and open the trunk. Quickly load one in and fire away. Did I say "dumb bird"?.
Got it in the leg. it flew up into a tree branch and sat there (bleeding).
I guess i could have waited but i fiddled around and got the pistol re-loaded. this time i was more careful and put one through his head.
We ate it later that night.
So, if your careful, a 185 gr LSWC will work OK, too. YMMV
