When I moved to Wisconsins farm country, you could shoot a slug shotgun or a handgun at deer. I bought a T/C in 7mm Waters which I loaded as you could not buy pointed bullets loaded for it. I think the most accurate load was about 35 gr. of 4064 and a 100 gr. bullet. After about 150 shots over a month, there was a piece of me floating around under the skin of my right hand in the area of the thumb-index finger web.
I never saw a doctor and it went away after a year or so. After that appeared, I shot it twice while deer hunting, then sold it.
The US Army issued reduced .45-55-300 ammo to mounted troops as the .45-70-405 was knocking them off their horses. At least that is the story I heard.
