Great moose
Thanks for all your help finally caught up with a legal bull. The 45-70 was bang flop. Really helped this old guy with reloading to powder to shooting advice thank you

Congratulations! It's always satisfying to see the end of the story wrapped up with success! I think I remember disagreeing with the 45-70 in favor of the 30-06. But I'm happy to have been a miniscule part of the process, even if I was wrong.

So, what was the load you used? Just curious, I shot a lot of 45-70....my favorite caliber the last ten years or so.

I've never used any but factory ammo .300 gr for my 45-70 ,and used the Barnes .Less recoil, accurate great, performer . Also great for 44mag.with the 225.These both for up to 100 yds.

So as I was driving the side by side on a mud path I said, I think we can make it across the bog. Wrong, buried it up to the doors. Nothing around to winch it. I ask my son in law, do you think we can dig it out. He responds, I believe in my heart we are f—- stuck. lol luckily some kind hunter came on his atv with his winch and set us free. I am banned from driving it again

LOL! I'd take pics of a stuck truck, thats almost as good!
Tell your SIL now you have another story to go with the moose. In your 20's thats an adventure. In your 50's it becomes a PITA. |
