My general carry rifle, for ranch duties etc.
A little load development with Hornady 325 gr ftx bullets. These bullets worked well on paper in my 45/70 and now in the .450.
.I haven't chrono'd yet but should be in the 2100 fps range and is consistant on paper.
Will see if I can tip over a bull elk on my home place with it this year, it will be interesting to see the bullets performance. Bulls have got to be a minimum 6 points on one side. So far have seen numerous 5's 4's and squealers show up
Anyone have experience with the gummy tipped, ftx's on a elk sized animals? I expect the bullet to fracture but should be enough residual weight to create a decent wound channel.
Just wondering who has tried this
