In the end, no more redundant bllsht: 416 ruger african cut to 22.5" is my go-to moose gun on the rivers. Can pick up 400 grain dgx bonded for a really good price locally.

Here on campfire, age dosnt nescassarrily exude wisdom. 416 ruger, right off a shelf is fkn smart........





These days, I have to agree. This is what I went with on my 98.



Smart man. All the do-nothing dingdongs that shoot off at the mouth about rifles more than they hunt, the 400 whelen nor my .410-9.3x62 makes little sense. Not with 416 Ruger all over the place.

Once you get to the stopping effect of the 41 cals, you dont really need 4 or 5 rounds down. Nor do you need pointy boat tail bullets. The 400 grain dgx bonded yields 2,455 fps from a 22.5" barrel.
