[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1425291, member: 1656"] Well handguns and long range seem a bit incompatible but... With whitetails I've had good luck with a 10mm 1911. I have not, but would, hunt elk with a 44Mag at appropriate ranges. I own a 45-70 BFR with a 7.5" barrel. Wow. You can load it until your wrist breaks. I started with 350gr soft points but ditched those when they surface splattered on a deer and moved to 325gr FTX. With the proper bullet I'd hunt ANYTHING with it. I've shot 405gr hardcast out off it, at loads difficult to hold onto, it will pretty much go through anything. [/QUOTE]
