[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1286574, member: 313"] I just came back from a Utah Lion hunt. I had brought a Rem #7 in .223 which my guide was happy to see. I had 50 V-Max and 64 Nosler bonded bullets loaded up. I probably would have used the 64s. Unfortunately, the weather went south and shortened my hunt without an opportunity to try that combo out. My hunting partner brought an old military 30 carbine with peep sights. That rifle seemed perfect for treed cats; small, light and just enough energy. He took a shot at a large Tom from about 15 yds using a factory load with a 110gr Barnes X bullet. Point of impact was head-on in the chest. At the shot, the cat launched himself out of the tree and bolted across the snow leaving a red trail that was impressive. 50yds further and he slid under a dead fall and it was over. The X bullet exited through his back but neither hole was a problem for the taxidermist. [/QUOTE]
