Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska .44 Magnum -- not in a sidearm but a rifle. Who has used one in Alaska?

I shoot a Browning 92� in .44, 20� barrel� (but I never shoot any 240gr stuff other than to get the brass) 270gr hot cores in my hand loads 1600+fps �(federal use to make the 270gr spfp loads for silhouette / metal shoot)�.shot a moose @175yds ( 1st round landed a bit shy on the pond as my eye on the distance was a bit off) a little adjustment (old redfield peep) and it was drt �� the recovered round looked like a 25centpice The same load in my black hawk (7.5) goes thru most of my black bears when hit behind the front leg at tree stand ranges��wish I�d had the gun back in the 70�s.(not made then) as it would have been the nicest 11shot -lite weight- heavy woods deer shooter.
