Heck RC- that's better than my magnum eyebrow, shooting uphill at a moose 16 yards away, with a .338 Mag with 270/275? gr. Speer handloads.. The bullet caught him frontally just under the chin as he was reaching up for a browse morsel. The bullet exploded when it hit his spine and darned near decapitated him. Did flip him rigjht over on his back (it was a yearling).

Didn't know I was bleeding until it started dripping off my nose.

The other 3 were all with an '06, 180 grain loads.. the SAME '06! ...target shooting, at different times. Ya gotta hang on to them things! smile
