He was at 65 yards standing broadsided . The 44wcf took out both lungs with complete penetration and he was down in 20 yards . I fired 1 shot and it hit the right spot . The weather was nice temp was mid 30's and I was hunting from a stand about 15 foot high

1875 Winchester Catalog testimonials...a few of many!
..."I have fully tested the late improved Winchester Rifle and take pleasure in stating that it is the best rifle I have ever used. I have killed a number of deer, at distances from one to two hundred yards and in every instance, the bullet passed clean through the body."
..."The killing qualities, at large game, is all that could be desired, to the wonder and admiration of the guides and sportsmen who saw its working during my visit to the Adirondack woods last fall."
..."I can say for one, that I think the Winchester Model of 1873 is the best firearm now in use for hunting and sporting; they give the best satisfaction to everyone that has used them here. James Gary and C.S. Martin have killed 17 bears and 100 deer since the first of September with Model 1873.
AMEN!
