400lb. black bear - 340 accumark 87.5 gr 7828 250 gr. accubond. Shot him straight through his chest, bullet went straight down body( he was comming up hill )his front legs folded under him landed on his chin, rolled down hill 20-30 feet. (these guy are extremly strong) could believe my eyes. He stopped rolling stood up on all fours again for about 3 seconds wobbling around and then dropped. Thats like 3500-4000 ft lbs of engery incredible strenght. Don't under estimate a bear

I like bear meat when prepared right. Muskrat too.
 
538 yds, Whitetail, 6.5x284, 130 gr. Berger VLD. Lung shot went about 30 yds. Bullet did very well, moderate expansion, passed through.
 
-in last 12 months was an 8 point whitetail. 267 yds. Not a long shot by any means, but it was done with a stock .50 cal Savage Muzzleloader 43.5g IMR-4759, 250g Hornady .45 cal SST
 
All the practicing paid off in late October when I killed my first bull elk. 333 yards with a 7 mph crosswind. One shot placed perfectly in the center of the heart. 300 Rem SAUM 180 grain Nosler Accubond, 61.0 grains IMR 4350.
