You need a rifle for something that weighs 72 lbs? Use a rubber mallet or something eh!  | |||

I voted .500 because that's what I'm building right now. But, a FN solid from any of the listed calibers should quickly dispatch the 72lb Blacktail with minimal meat damage. Jim  "Life's hard; it's harder if you're stupid" John Wayne | |||

DW, Next time can you please put a proper BT caliber in the poll? You did mention that the Blacktail is disgruntled and that ain't nuthin' to fool around with. What if it charges? I've heard of 'em with legs and arms blown off yet still biting people to death (a la Monty Python's famous Black Knight). Soooo - where is the choice of 600 Overkill?

If I could shoot em from the porch I'd likely use something with a fatter safety margin ...  | |||

How disgruntled? Really disgruntled or only mildly disgruntled? Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

IME the 375 is adequate although just barely. Better to go big. Can I write-in the T REX? Have gun- Will travel The value of a trophy is computed directly in terms of personal investment in its acquisition. Robert Ruark | |||

And therein lies the problem - hit 'em with something too small and they quickly devolve from mild to moderate to "Grab the woman and children and head for the storm cellar!"

Though I can't read that, I would venture to say that it is many a good man's dream to be attacked and bitten by a Swedish beaver.  NRA Lifer; DSC Lifer; SCI member; DRSS; AR member since November 9 2003 Don't Save the best for last, the smile for later or the "Thanks" for tomorow | |||
