The only thing I have every shot with S/Vel Shelbyville, other than paper, was a BIG whitetail doe back in the late 1970's. I harvested her with a Marlin 1894 in 44 Mag/Spcl with a 20" barrel using S/Vel 240 gr 44 Mag. All I can say without getting too graphic is in one shoulder, no heart or lungs left to speak of and out the other side. That S/Vel 44 Mag 240 gr turned the front of that deer into ground venison. All that was left to put in the freezer was two hams, one shoulder and the back straps. I've still got thirty-seven rounds left from the original box that harvested that doe. Lord have pitty one the soul that decides to break into my house as those same S/Vels are loaded in that same rifle doing duty as one of my HD guns. Plus it's good not to have neighbors close enough where you have to worry over penetration.
