I managed to acquire a cow moose tag this year in northern Maine. I?ve decide my primary weapon will be my Ruger Super Redhawk 480.



The load I?ll be shooting is a 390gr powder coated cast hollow point over 14.5 grains of HS6. I?ve got it zeroed three inches high at 50 yards. My eye sight ain?t as good as it once was so I can?t shoot them little tight shot groups of yesteryears, but I?m definitely minute of moose. I should be good out to 100 yards with the iron sights. If the critters don?t cooperate with a comfortable iron sighted revolver shot, I?ll be taking my 270 win Encore for emergency situations. I?ve got some 130gr accubonds over a stiff dose of varget worked up for it - should be good out to 400 yards with that combo. Just a couple more weeks -can?t wait!


It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
