25-06 elk load.............
My son shot a 3pt bull two weeks ago with his Ruger MKII 25-06 and Hornady's 120gr HP/54gr H4831SC/Fed mag primers.Took out a rib entering behind the shoulders and another exiting at 400 yards.The Bull was lights out after trotting 100 yards or so.Nice eating animal.We were looking for moose but there was a 80% winterkill on deer and moose in this area thanks to deep snow and spring ticks.This bonus elk made up for that though.Harold Here in central Alberta the deer season starts Nov1 so we'll top off the freezer with deer.............Harold
