The Hawk bullets work really well in the 1886 at velocities around 2100-2200 FPS. I used a 270 gr Hawk bullet
on a Alaskan bull moose in a Model 71-348 Ackley Improved. One shot stop.
That combination would probably last a lifetime in Alaska. Stopping power equivalent to a 405 WCF
with much more sectional density
Also have 400 gr Hawks in a 450 Alaskan.
