That's some funny shit right there. Probably a pretty accurate assessment of your dad's motives.My dad had us three boys for the purpose of building haystacks, pitching crab on a stone boat, picking rocks and walking brush to push deer to him and using our tags.
Gave us a model 94 30-30 to hunt with as he said it was a good brush gun with 7 bullets. Well iron sites were better than a scope in the brush but i think he knew we would miss and we gave him all those deer. db
Brush guns are for those a-holes out east of the Red that take "sound" shots.
The pure astonishment I had at such a concept when I first heard about it is impossible to relay to you all.

A .45/or more shouldn't need to expand at 50yds. A tumble will suffice.
I will have to disagree with you a little SDMF. I have blown three inch holes in deer heart at 172 yards with 250 gr hard cast from a 44 mag rifle. One has to ponder which does more damage a 44 or 45 hard cast that doesn't expand, or a 30 caliber that expands to 44. Disregarding velocity of course. Then consider penetration. I am around people shooting 30-06 and 308 and often they find their bullets in the deer. Although slow the heavy hard cast I have never found in a deer. I see no need for expansion in my 45/70 300 gr hard cast at 2300 fps.
Considering the length of te bullet the caliber woukd increase with any tilt off axis.
Is this a real thing?
Yes, sadly enough. I knew some backwoods hun-yucks from northern Minnetucky who would proudly proclaim how many "sound shots" they got while out walking through the woods. Hear a noise...shoot in its direction...go look for blood. Again, WTF?
Needless to say, I NEVER hunted with them.

I don't believe a tumbling Core Lokt or Power Point will impact ribs and exit nose or anus at 50yds (unless you're not wearing a mask):
