Oh, to answer the question, I use a NULA in .30-06, with Federal TSX 180gr. I've taken two sheep and a grizz and a couple of wolves and in all cases, it was over in an instant. The grizzly couldn't have perished faster if he was hit by lightening. I changed my scope this year to a Swaro Z5 3.5-18X44 with BT. Don

What rifle and cartridge are you using for the plains game and thin skinned game?

I like my Pre-64 Model 70 Featherweight in 270 with 130 Nosler backed by 61 grains of H4831...
I have also used Pre-64 Model 70s in 264 (26 inch bbl) with 140 grain Nosler and H870..and 30-06 (24 inch bbl) and 165 BBC with H205 and now RL 19.. ..my son uses my German Mark V in 257 Weatherby with 115 Noslers and RL22..all have worked well on NA medium size game for us....the Yukon Moose was shot with my 270 during an unsuccessful Fannin Sheep hunt in the Yukon... ....

No problem...it'll be 50 years this December since I shot my 1st Whitetail with a 30-30 Winchester at age 12...I then used that same Model 94 to shoot my 3 NA Cougars. Over the years I have played with a lot of cartridges and bullet combos but for me I settled on the following:
270 130 Nosler 30-06 165 BBC 300 Weatherby 165 BBC, 200 BBC, 200 Nosler and 220 Nosler 375 H&H 275 BBC
in the 264 when I used it it was a 140 Nosler...
I never tried the newer combos and cartridges such as the short mags ...an ol' dog can't learn new tricks...and I am sure they will work just fine...as will the 7 mag, 338, 300 Winchester & etc...whatever you shoot well...put it in the vitals and it will do the job on NA game...Good Hunting!!
