TC maxi-hunter bullets for elk
« on: November 04, 2009, 11:18:11 AM »
Anyone shot an elk with the 50 cal TC maxi-hunter bullet.  I have lots of them in 370 gr and have a late cow tag.
Going to shoot it in my CVA inline with ~100 grs of Triple 7. I Have had good luck with them on mule deer in my old Hawken but no experience with elk.

Thanks,

8 deer and 2 elk with TC maxi-hunter.275 for deer, 370 for elk. 105 grns 777. I shoot less than 100 yds. I put a disc between powder and bullet. Helps a bit with blow by and accuracy.

I like a heavier more stable bullet for ml. They shoot great out of my knight bighorn

Thanks for the info Ribka.  I have the 275 grainers as well but have not shot them yet on deer.  What brand of disk do you use over the powder and where do you get them?

Thanks,
