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

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!!
