[QUOTE="dogdinger, post: 226886, member: 9616"] hicks, i must have missed the thread you started because i would certainly have replied. i had an 8 mag for yrs and took all sorts of game with it.....moose, sheep, elk, mulies, pronghorn, .....carried it to alaska, canada and all over the west. i was shooting a 7 mag when my brother got this gun on a trade and sent it to me....he said "hell, why would you want to shoot a 160 gr bullet @ 3000fps when you can shoot a 200 gr pill the same speed?" i couldnt argue with that so i took it out and tried it.....first elk i shot with it was a big old cow @ about 400 yds....boom...tits up! i couldnt believe the results! i was hooked! this gun was never a tack driver, but when you put the crosshairs on meat it never missed. my favorite load was the 200 gr NP's and imr 4350....they cronoed right at 3050 out of my factory bbl. i made a fantastic shot once with this gun on an elk across a canyon....this was back before the days of rangefinders and pda's.....yrs later after getting a rangefinder i went back to the spot i shot from and ranged it........853yds....my longest shot to this day.
