[QUOTE="epags, post: 1839182, member: 105138"] My story is just the opposite relative to someone else's reloads. Long ago as a virgin Second Lt and non hunter I was assigned to Alaska from the Maryland/DC area. Knowing less then nothing about ammo and hunting I trusted a civilian friend that hunted when he gave me "hunting" loads to take with me to AK. Long story short, they were for East coast white tails. Well when you try to shoot a moose with them through the shoulder blade they kinda flatten out. The moose goes down, I walk. up, the moose stands back up, I am out of ammo, I wet myself, my buddy drops the moose with 6 44mags. There is more to the story concerning me and the now unloaded 44 mag and a bear. But that is for another day. [/QUOTE]
