My son's BIL shot a doe using a 45ACP in a 1911 using standard run of the mill factory ammo (not sure which brand or bullet wt). Was about a 30 yard shot. Worked fine on that deer.

I also know another individual that used a 40 S&W XD to shoot a doe head on in the front where the neck/chest junction is (again, I don't know what brand/bullet). That doe dropped in her tracks. It, too, was about a 30 yd shot.

I do know that the ammo used in both the deer shot were just standard run of the mill factory ammo. Nothing like Buffalo Bore or Corbon ammo.
