I used a Cast Performance 300 gr LNFP at 1150fps. He took two shots to the lungs in rapid succession, went about twenty yards, and piled up. He's the biggest critter to fall to the .45 Colt for me thus far.

My early one needed the throats opened up, I installed a narrow (.100") Clements front sight and did a trigger job on it adding the stouter Old Army hammer spring. Shoots great. Conduct is the best proof of character.

The others were shot with a bow, .30-06, .300wm, and a .500 s&w. Two of them ended up being sort of epic debacle kills, including a huge bull which was finished off with my gun. I'll never forget one assistant guide saying "Hardcasts? You have hardcasts? Use the .45, we need penetration!" I asked Cliff if there was an award for having the least shot muskox. He just kind of gave a low moan and said "oooh no"

One was due to using cup and core bullets on such a beast fifty yards away at .300 win mag impact velocities, which (after four or five rounds) resulted in one lung being pretty well pulped yet with no penetration to the off side lung. The other two debacles involved lots of shooting around the edges with a .500 and lobbing arrows Agincourt style followed by more shooting around the edges with the .500

Of course the BH was stronger and I took it to Ak. Upon return, being cash poor I sold the Mtn Gun much to my chagrin. Well, today, I'm sending out a cashiers check for another I found on Gunbroker last week. This time, as long as it's sound, it's staying put. As I understand it, the large S&W logo on the right side is indicative of a Lipsey's special; right? Alan [Linked Image]

Honestly, though, I have yet to shoot any acp through it. I'm undecided whether it's coming to TN or if the Mountain Gun gets the bid.
