[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1126615, member: 88320"] I've harvested lot of mountain lions. About any round will do. Cat have thin hides and are relatively easy to kill. high velocity rifles tend to blow big holes in the hides and arnt necessary. I prefer 30-30, 44 mag, 45 colt ect. Heavy slow bullets that have stopping power cuz when you shoot them over hounds you don't want them to have much left in them when they hit the ground. A wounded lion can make a mess of things in a second. 223 and 243 are about as big of a higher velocity rifle as I would use. [/QUOTE]
