Remember this?
A T-Rex is a 53 Hit Point, DR2, size mod +5 critter.
Miguel Points out Marlin is saying their new M1895SBL in .45-70 is good for T-Rex.
In that short barrel, .45-70 does 4d+2 pi+.
Minimum damage on the body is 6. Average is 21. Maximum damage is 36.
Good thing you get 6+1 shots!
Even against the vitals it's minimum 12, average 42 and maximum of 72 (consciousness roll!).
Damn, even if you're a good shot you're still needing multiple rounds!
Go for the brain!
Minimum is 8. Average is 48. Maximum is 88 (consciousness roll).
Huh.
Good thing you have seven shots and it has short arms.

I enjoyed that movie okay. But remarked that if I was the game warden for that island my guys would have BARs shooting 220 grn solids and Benelli M-1104s shooting Brenneke slugs.

If I were going after T-Rex, or dinosaurs in general, I'd want one of those big double-barreled elephant guns, in .500 or .600 caliber. And I'd aim for the heart, and make damn sure to have other guns beside me also shooting. Reptiles are famously tenacious of life compared to us puny mammals, and a T-Rex's brain is very small and hard to hit. L. Sprague de Camp discusses this in several of his books, including the "Rivers of Time" collection (about a big-game guide who works with a time machine to let his clientele shoot extinct species).
