I used a original 1895 Winchester loaded with 250 gr Hornady's at 2400. Bull was not terribly impressed and there was a bit of a rodeo. When we got him opened up he was hit through lungs. The Hornady's literally flattened out the size of a quarter. 2 of them only penetrated 1 lung .Beautiful animal. We had the hide tanned and a shoulder mount. 950 lbs hamburger!

Their prices are very reasonable. They've been at this for decades and they have it down right.

Cant use archery and must use at least a 30/06. I've taken 4. One with a 358, two with a 338 Federal, and the last one with a 338 RCM. They are not hard to put down. Like anything else, bullet placement is the key. I believe Phil ( 458) killed one with a 300 Savage, and I know a FN guy here in Yukon that killed four with the same caliber.

If I recall, the Ranch is about 55,000 acres and bulls taken there qualify for SCI scoring. I used a Shiloh Sharps 50-90 shooting a 550 grain paper patch pure lead bullet.
