Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 44 Mag, 310 gr WFN GC

I have seen that type of hard cast bullet used on Buffalo and Eland from a 44 Magnum (on one ocassion,) along with some plainsgame, I was not impressed with it on Buffalo but it sure worked well enough on the plainsgame and even the Eland went less than 200 yards..It, in effect, reminded me of using a flat nose solid in a rifle on plainsgame, it worked but wasn't very impressive..It took way too long for the buffalo to expire after 6 good solid hits. It always left a decent blood trail except on the buffalo which left less of a blood trail I might add..It was an interesting 10 days.

If I were to go hunt elk, that is the load I would use.
