[QUOTE="Cowboyshooter, post: 988326, member: 83113"] The last rifle I used was a borrowed .30-30. The last elk was shot with a pistol. .44 magnum 7 1/2 barreled Super Blackhawk. .265 grain, Hornady bullet over 22.1 grains of H110. One shot kills, drops them like a rock from 90 feet. I have found they both punch though, just need to walk up to them and shoot them close, or easier, let them walk up to me. My Grand Uncle used his .44-40 Colt revolver for elk hunting. They did not walk away from him, and none have walked more than a few feet from me. Used a .338 Winchester for my first one, pushing a 250 grain bullet. Decided less was more over the years. :rolleyes: Became too boring to shoot them from the next county. [/QUOTE]
