    .243 for moose

    bullet selection for mountain goat

    LOL so true “‘Pay attention to where they are at when you shoot, make the first shot count, do whatever you can to prevent a pile of white snot at the base of a cliff after they run/jump/walk/roll off. Be prepared for quick a follow up shot, regardless of how good the first one was. I...
