I wouldn't hesitate on using the 44 mag with a good cast bullet and 2400 on Elk if it was the only Handgun i had, but since i have the Freedom Arms 454 it would be the Handgun i would take if going after Elk today. Like Elmer Keith always said , use enough gun.

A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.
