My one and only eland dropped to an original Barnes X via my FN Mauser 9.3x62 in 2002. A pile of other critters did the same. Today it would be a toss up between that rifle and my tweaked SS M70 375 H&H pushing the 270 gr TSX. I took the latter on an unsuccessful SE Alaska brown bear hunt last year with extreme confidence.


Conduct is the best proof of character.
