would you feel at a dis advantage hunting ELK with a lever action carbine 45lc
one of my freinds (BILL) has decided he wants to get an ELK next year with his 45 colt carbine.
his carbine meets the Colorado hunting reg.rules
now Ive hunted both deer and elk with a hand gun and Ive seen that power is not that critical if the shooter gets into a decent range and places his shop precisely. , because a properly placed shot will result in a dead elk, but you would not believe the verbal crap he gets every time he brings up the idea from the guys at our local range, its almost like many believe that anything less than a 308 win will bounce off an ELK.
the more crap he gets , the more IM temped to just use my 10" barrel S&W 44 mag revolver and go along with him
