[QUOTE="RAGGED EDGE, post: 1960003, member: 49669"] Those critters are tough, and if they're fired up they're even tougher. The perfect shot at a reasonable range can be pulled off with about anything from a .270 on up, and a really tough bullet (TSX/TTSX my choice), but when things go wrong you'll wish you had a .375 or something bigger. I shot mine at a little over 200 yards with a .338-06 and a 210-grain TSX. If you shoot and they run, like mine did, and you don't have an exit hole, like I didn't (quartering shot), be prepared for a workout. We went 400 yards into the brush before finding blood. Forty yards farther he was down. I didn't have enough velocity left to drive the shot through the front shoulder. I would have with a 338 Mag. Wear snake gaiters over a good boot, and have a great hunt. [/QUOTE]
