[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 252, member: 34"] Rufous I showed Dan Lilja (the barrel maker and friend) a picture of a bear we got in Colorado and he said the wound was the worse he had seen on an animal. As a matter of fact, Dan mentioned this kill in his longrange shooting story. The range was 775 yards the caliber was a 30/378 Weatherby with a 37" barrel and the bullet was a 200 Gr Sierra MK. The bear dropped in his tracks. The elk we have shot have been from 1000 yards out to 2100 yards and the bullets used have all been Sierra Matchkings. The longest shot with the 30/378 was 1360 yards on elk and further on deer. The 200 gr was used on these. The 338/416 Rigby IMP has killed elk to 2100 and deer to a mile and using the 300 gr MK bullets. Do they kill, yes they do. Keep in mind, our barrels are 36 to 37" for additional velocity and we don't carry these guns around the mountain with us. They weigh from 50# to 67#. Sierra MKs do kill and we have not lost an animal yet that had been hit. Darryl Cassel [ 07-17-2001: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
