[QUOTE="soulezoo, post: 1217635, member: 97094"] I have a mid 70's BDL. It is a great rifle. I've only taken deer and antelope with it but would not feel undergunned with black bear. IMO, on Elk one should be very careful with distance (energy bleed off) and bullet selection. The judicious hunter can be successful with Elk/Moose with this cartridge but since it is marginal on those animals it is not normally recommended. On smaller game it is a wonderful cartridge. Years ago in different magazines, the writers opined that if one were to enter all desirable characteristics in a cartridge for deer hunting into a computer, it would spit out the .25-06. I use the 115 ballistic tips now with great success and my rifle shoots 3 shot clovers that touch at 100 yards. My handloads were 120gr partitions over H4831. Not as accurate, but a very effective load. [/QUOTE]
