[QUOTE="LL, post: 85775, member: 95"] Bingo. I used it for elk in AZ's Coconino and Kaibab NF's, sticking to the thick stuff. Hunted them (basically) the same way you'd hunt squirrels. :lol: Under those conditions you want something that will reach the vitals from any angle, and the .45/400gr/1800fps combo did the trick every time. Just drilled a clean hole, and there was always a blood trail since it came out the other side. No bloodshot meat, either. Most of the guys I hunted with used .300 & .338 mags, and would ruin a couple cubic feet of meat with them, and didn't drop the animals any faster. Usually [b]less[/b] quickly, in fact. Always wanted to go after those hybrid Russian/feral boar that populate the TN/NC state line with it, but never did. Still have the rifle, but haven't used it in many years. Last time was at a "cowboy combat" match, in fact, loaded with cast bullets and black powder. (All the smoke made for a great crowd pleaser, but you couldn't see a damn thing after the third shot :lol: ) [/QUOTE]
