Hot ****! That is AWESOME! Congrats.

That's awesome to hear!

Phil Shoemaker killed a big Alaskan Brownie at a few feet with a 9mm and some Buffalo Bore 147 grain hardcast in Alaska a few years back, while guiding some fishing clients. While neither a 9mm nor .45 ACP would be my first choice, if you put some stout Hard Cast loads in your .45 it will do...

Just make sure you pronounce it "Wizzum", sounds sexier too.

Close, but no. A “270” is .277 caliber. 7mm = .284 caliber.

the 7 WBY is certainly a good cartridge. As people keep mentioning, it's the barrel twist rate and cost of ammo that keeps me away from it. I went 7 RM and also have a 28 Nosler, so the 7 WBY never filled a niche for me. Furthermore, I understand if you slap a 26" barrel on the 7 RM and max...

Yes, i understand physics. But, when it comes to large (and especially dangerous game) there is more at play than simply foot pounds of energy. I trust the words of people who hunt dangerous game regularly, e.g. Craig Boddington & Phil Shoemaker (to name a couple), and wider heavier bullets at...

For the ranges you're discussing (up to ~400 yards), i'd recommend the 30-06 or the 7mm Remington Mag. I have both, 7mmRM will reach out further with more kinetic energy, however the 30-06 shoots wider / heavier bullets for large game at closer range (think Taylor KO factor). Past 400 yards...
