30-06, M700 180 grain Hornady. (first, BC record book black bear 137 yds)
25-06 M700 117 RN, (second BC record book black bear, 89 yds)
7x57, M700 140 grain Partition. (biggest Blacktail so far, 165 yds)
303 Jungle carbine 215 grain bullet, (biggest moose so far 2 shots, 65 yds)
45-70 lever gun, 440 grain cast bullet. (80 yds big Blacktail) too many to list.
6.5 300 Weatherby, 140 grain on a bull moose (2 shots 770 yds).
280 Remington M700, lots of deer and black bear, I like it better than the 7mm mags.
The 6.5 -300 Weatherby Weatherby was still a wildcat back when I shot that moose (1986 ish).
For deer sized game, the 6.5-300 was a bit much and a lot of splat and very little left for the dinner plate.
PS, nothing has changed!!!!!
