You are correct that Finn had that shot perfected. He was accompaning a friend on a bear hunt with me and when the hunter wounded a bear and as it headed toward the nearest pucker brush Finn broke it's pelvis and anchored it so the hunter could finish it off.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
