A fifty caliber 425gr. bullet for deer, elk, and caribou? HO-CHEE-MAMA!! Jack must be shoot'n too close to the nuclear power plant again!! Keep in mind that EVERY dangerous game on the planet has been taken with a 30-06and some of them several times. (Not that I'd every have the cajones to take on a Cape Buffalo with one, you understand!) Well, I guess its been pretty well established that big game animals today are a lot tougher to kill than they were fifty years ago so maybe those kinds of ballistics make sense (sure!). Well, good for Jack, I'm sure he's killed a LOT more game than I've ever seen, maybe he's got it right.
