Well I got my moose,he was 5 1/2 years,695lbs.dressed,55 3/4 spread,20points.HE was 75yds broadside uphill hit him and he flinched but stayed there so I hit him again now he turned 1/4ing away and stopped so I hit him a third time,this bullet hit lung and traveled along underside of backbone and was recovered under the hide of the neck [see photo].I'm going to try and post pics,but not having much luck.If there are no photos with this I will keep trying Wish me luck.

Dave

Congratulations, Dave! What was the load you were using on your moose?

420 gr montana bullet works lfn 22.5 gr. h110 abo

ut 1125fps on my crono.

Dave

I think you can get pictures using the imageshack link I posted .Someone let me know please.

Thanks Dave

I was able to look at them through the link. Nice work!!

I have a photo bucket account and it's super easy to use.

I have an account with photobucket been trying but can't seem to get it.I don't spend much time on computers except to look up things or read forums.I still type with 2 fingers.
What did you think of the bullet,I was suprised it did't exit.It did the job though.

Dave

Dave; Sweeeet! Accolades to you...iron sights, cast bullet, and a long shot...good job...and, a very nice moose to show for your effort!

There's an aimpoint h1 red dot on handgun,there are 5 pics in all,notice license plate on truck.Last pics is of winch I used to get him in truck.

Dave

Dave; Still, a great shot! Taking game with no magnification (I dont believe that sight magnifies?) is a feat....wish I was that good!

Great moose and great shooting!!! Congratulations!

Thanks x-caliber that was great.I'll figure it out some day.

Thanks again Dave

Great job on your moose, doing it with a revolver is one of life's greastest thrills! I too am surprised the bullet didn't exit, I've never recovered one.

Dick

Very nice Moose, Dave. Congratulations.

Nice Moose, Congratulations

Congradulations, Dave. From the looks of the recovered bullet, I'd say it went through a lot off bone..

congrats great work

JWP; According to some, a cast bullet cant kill nothin'!!!!

On this site, the handgun hunters are way more savvy than on some others, where they believe a bullet has to be shiny to work. We know better!

Whit........that, we do!!!!!

Amen to that, flat top!

Ya'll keep up this talk about revolvers that don't generate tons of muzzle energy and using cast bullets and the "experts" over on big bore rifles are gonna start talking trash about you guys.

But then, what do they know? Not much.....

Haha! They're just now learning what we've known for decades (flat noses and big meplats)!

Dave,

Totally awesome! Brings back so many great memories of my Alaska moose 2 years back with my 45LC. I won't post a pic 'cause I don't want to take away from your day. Congrats!

Alan

yup, those big bore enthusiasts run a nazi forum where dissention is not tolerated. hell, they think a 460 weatherby is underpowered there. hahaha. i actually had a moderator threaten to ban me for disagreeing with him. not arguing but just disagreeing with him. amazing. never figure saeed would tolerate that, oh well.

that said, i don't feel undergunned the least on anything with my big bore revolvers. i truly feel as comfortable with my 454 as anything.

great moose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!
