all I know, is that if I have to rely on the 30 caliber's maximum firepower punch, then I'd load the 220 grain Nosler, regardless of which 30 caliber round I was carrying... I'd also tend to go with the heavier calibers as mentioned so frequently above.... the 9.3 x 62 Mauser would be consider minimum in reality.. and a round I would never need in the lower '57' states ( lower 48 if you are not an Obama supporter) would actually look awfully good if in Alaska, the 416.. either Rem or Rigby...

The Ranger responded, "Because they don't make a 46." Duhboy....Nuttier than Squirrel Poop... | |||

This story is exactly the same as one I heard a year ago. A friend of mines father drew out a buffalo on Antelope Island here in Utah. His father insisted on using the 06 instead of his sons 338. I called Barnes and asked Ty what load to use. He suggested using the 180 TSX and recommended a starting load. Long story short the man killed a buffalo with a neck shot. The TSX penetraed 5 inches of the neck vertibrae and was found in the skin on the off side. The bullet retained 85% of its weight. It shed one petal and part of another. DW | |||
