Elk Hunt Advice

[BrownBear]

If we spent as much time shooting and studying game as we do nattering on computers, there'd be lots less to natter about.

Less to natter about :shocked2: Then we will have nothing to do!

Not if you spend the extra time studying game and practicing your stalking and shooting skills! :rotf:

Add a solid exercise routine to each day, and all will be well without a computer or TV in sight. :applause:

Mike that is a nice necklace.

Elk are smaller than bull moose. I have killed 2 with a 54 RB neither went more than 30 yards.

A 50 RB will kill a bull elk but not at long range figure 100 yards as max as with my 54 and it will drop.

ML's are not toys dude.

My dad tried out the 250 gr REAL bullets in his 50 cal and said the was getting groups with the rounds touching at 50 Yrds. He has not tried them at 100 yet but that is next. He is shooting 100 grains (volume) or Pyrodex with a felt wad.

If his accuracy holds up at 100, he is good to go!

Nice to hear! I was curious how they'd do in a slow twist PRB barrel. Being fairly short I figured the odds were good.

It's estimated that they have a BC value of 0.148.
