It is exceedingly rare that I agree with anything Swapman says, but this time I think he is on the right track. I would predict that a hardcast flatnosed heavy bullet will make a .429 hole (plenty big enough) right through an Elk or Bear from most any reasonable angle at any reasonable (say, under 150 yards or so) range.

I use Cast Performance LBT style bullets in my 44 Magnum woods walking gun and if you do not want to cast your own I have found them to be quite excellent. Here is the website to order from them:

I will be sending in an order myslef, really soon.
