I finally drew a cow elk, mule deer combo tag for a great spot in Nevada. Woohoo!
Of course the first thing that goes through my mind is what gun to take.
I am pretty set on taking my Marlin 1885 guide gun in .450 Marlin. That or the contender hand gun in 45-70.
Follow up shots if needed would be nice.
I am planning on using cast boolits for the hunt. I have the Lee 405 gr rnfp right now.
After my left shoulder heals up to the point where I can move it and lift some weight, I am going to cast a bunch and work up a load.
I know it will be a hammer on deer, but does anyone have experience with it on elk?
My alloy will be clip on ww, stick on ww, and pewter.
I am not above buying a different mould either.
