Dan,

In Australia with pigs, goats or roos you would wheel out those cannons you own first until you got sore then get the 270 out.

But this again simply highlights that the volume shooting means efficiency is not such an issue.

But what is interesting is how well you can do with 2000-2100 f/s on the flat country once you have been shooting for a day or so, you seem to get onto them. In the 458 Win (I had 3 of the M70 Push Feed super grades) I used 400 grain Speers and 70 grains of 4064, which did 2000 and also 70 grains of 3031 and our 2206 which is about the same and they did 2100 f/s

By day two "the shots fired to hits ratio" never seemed much different to me than when using 270 etc. Ditto for 39-41 grains of 2205 (H4227) and 220 Hornady flat nose in 375 which is a 2100 f/s load.

It is a great shame that we can't blend our shooting conditions and your gun laws.
