I think they will definitely get the job done wink


Yeah, I'm thinking anything from 200 on up is going to put the hurting on elk!


Your not helping my M71 deficit. Makes the drive to get one of my own even higher. It's amazing those old rifles shoot so danged well.

Yeah, those 220 or 250 Barnes Originals would be pretty cool.
