[QUOTE="Tomjoad, post: 2616315, member: 117325"] So this thread coming out several months ago burrowed it’s way into the recesses of my mind and wouldn’t let go. I’ve always kept a grouse gun in the truck if I tagged out early on elk but only had rock throwing as an option while actively hunting. As a backpack hunter I really can’t even begin to consider bringing a second weapon. I’m just not willing to take the penalty for a wrist rocket never mind a pistol or air gun. I work hard to keep my pack light and that is really the wrong direction towards that goal. So I started down the path of gallery loads… I have a rifle with me elk hunting… why in the heck can’t I make it work for elk and grouse??? Well I have arrived at my destination. A .310 caliber round ball at 44grains over 2 grains of titegroup. Sounds like a cap gun. Puts those little round balls inside a quarter at 25 yards. I hunt with a fixed 4x S&B on a 30-06 and keep my elk rounds 3.5” high at 100yards for mpbr shooting. This puts those little round balls right in the bullseye at 25yrds. If you dial that’s an easier option. 152 grain hammer hunter on the left and 44gr round ball on the right. This season I’ll be carrying 4 of each. That’s a weight penalty I can live with. [/QUOTE]
