The last buck I killed with my kimber custom classic fell. Got up and wobbled off about 20 yards and expired. Shot him with a Fed. 230 gr. hydrashock. Bullet entered behind the left shoulder and came out the right shoulder breaking the leg. Shot was about 35 yards. Would I do it again. Heck yes! 45acp has plenty of power to shoot through a deer at close to moderate woods ranges.
