Putting the M1 Carbine in the Right Context

[imarangemaster]

I killed a 200 pound Blacktail deer at 100 yards (97 long paces) with a single shot from my carbine. It was a heart-lung shot. Sprang 30 yards and dropped dead right there. Exit wound was big enough to scrunch my thumb and four fingers into. IIRC, it was a 110 R-P JSP, or possibly a WW 110 JHP. I used both then, but the HPs were finicky about feeding. The heart was devastated. I really appreciated it as a LEO trunk weapon after that!
