That's more like it .I was looking for info on bullets and construction. Not sure ill use for elk but was looking for input like yours about bullet type and construction .it may be best to use the gun for pigs and deer but if I could get a bullet of good construction and it carries enough energy inside 100 it may be an option.ill look into the barns and see what comes of it .just a gun I got and was told it was a 357 barrel not a 357 harret when I bought it .

Actually the 30-30 is the parent case to each and yes the 30 harret was made first with the smaller case capacity.the 357 harret was made later with the larger case capacity.there are several articles about it being used for elk at modest ranges with a 158gr bullet that's why I'm asking .As for energy at distance its about the same as say a muzzleloader at 100 yds with 100 gr pellets.its not all about energy at a set distance its about shot placement.my 6x6 elk didn't take 1 step before he tipped .the energy is close at around 1000 or so .if energy is the only factor I'd use my 338 win at something like high 3000 plus at 100 .but it's not its about bullet construction and shot placement .look it up there are several articles about elk and even a blue wildebeest taken with the harret.my concern is with the bullet its a pistol bullet and I'm worried it will come apart at those speeds the other option it a lever evolution bullet but don't think I can get enough volocity for correct expantion.with the 158gr volocity is increased and therefore energy comes up but at the cost of bullet weight .there are plenty of contender hunters out there that have this round and hunt with it for deer and pigs and other animals that's what I'm looking for .How the bullet reacts to being pushed that hard will it come apart? Only those who shoot it will know for sure

A little of each from someone who has the gun and knows the round .people are quick to judge on here it seems .only looking for opinions from those who have shot same round as the load books are all over the place and new books under power the round and old books over power .just looking for real world experience not speculation.

I'm not sure if your thinking 357 magnum or if your talking 357 harret . the harret is a cut down 30-30 case blown out to hold a 357 bullet .it has the same energy as a 30-30 only in a smaller more efficient package .most would agree that a 30-30 has killed many a elk at modest ranges with one shot

I wouldn't shoot at an animal at that kind of range to many variables and not what I would think is ethical shooting. Most of our shots at elk are between 100 and 200 and I've always tried to make clean 1 shot kills.I've got many rifles large and small . Don't want to hit and wound or make a animal suffer .the gun came with the barrel and all I've read says its rated for elk .most people haven't heard of the caliber so I'm asking for info from those who actually shoot the cartridge.

Glock 20sf 10mm or ruger redhawk 4.2 44mag

I'd have to agree with the seller left handed guns generally cost more due to the limited runs and cost to do so.your all looking at stock right handed guns its like comparing apples to oranges

Sportsmans had some on the shelf .so you might be a little high on price its only like 48bucks

First turkey hunt in 6a went to the draw my buddy shot his elk during the muzzy hunt and had just shut off the sxs and hit the call and got a gobble.went down the draw and set up a decoy and hit the call and the bird sounds like its on its way.called again and sounds like he's moving away so picked up the decoy and hit call one more time and in comes a bear .boy that's a wake up for sure I had him at 20 yds and he didn't care about noise or anything .so slowly backed out .what a thrill a turkey gobble and a bear on your first try.I didn't shoot a bird but I'm hooked for sure

I was shooting 105gr blackhorn .then added a break it helped .haven't shot it out to the limits but that's a chunk of lead and drift might be a big problem

I know this is old.but I've got a paramount pro in 45cal topped with a nightforce 4.5x14x50shv f1 scope.used for the muzzy elk hunt in 6a.the gun kicks like a mule with the 105gr by weight of bh209.got a radial break for it and shot a few rounds after the hunt and it seems to tame it down .haven't had time to check poi shift yet and the increase in max powder to 160gr by volume or 112 gr by weight .but I'd be willing to let you give it a try if your out at usery and it works.if you read all the info its a 500 yd killing machine.pm me if you interested .I've gotta get out to dial in a 7-08 for .ca pig hunt in nov
