A 33 WCF in the 1886 will handle most game. A Nosler 210 gr bullet in the chamber and last round
will work even in Alaska. Hawk 200 gr bullets are amazing if you run short of 200 gr Hornady
bullets.

Ben Lilly killed grizzlies and mtn lion with the 33 WCF-factory loaded 200 gr bullets. Unless you live
in Alaska, the 50 calibers are not necessary and components are drying up. I have had both
in the Model 71-the 450 Alaskan is more accurate.
