I'm back from Alaska and I had a great trip (see attached photos). I shot the 67 1/4" wide bull moose using the 340 gr Dead Center bullets in my T/C Omega. My first shot was a slight quarter away shot through both lungs at 115 yards. The bullet didn't hit any ribs in or out and the bullet was stopped by the hide on the far side. Although the moose would have died from the massive bleeding out the one side and internally, continued to reload and fire two additional shots until the bull walked out of sight. The second shot went into the lungs and stopped at the hip and the third shot went through the neck below the spine. The bull only traveled about 20 yards before collapsing. I recovered both bullets and they were flattened out. I was in shock from the size of that animal when I walked up to my first bull moose! I thought "What an I going to do now!", I was hunting by myself for 10 days due to the bad weather preventing my good friend Marlin from leaving his plane in the bush and returning to check on me. Luck prevailed! I was able to skin and bone the bull and the bears never found the kill. I had cold weather to keep the meat chilled and while I was packing the meat out to a different landing strip, I met the Weber family that was hunting there and they offered to help me pack out the last load of meat and antlers. The weather finally got nice the day before I was to fly back to Pennsylvania and I made my flight and so did my equipment, meat and antlers. What a great Alaskan experience!

Here is Mike Orr's 2003 muzzleloader kill photo; of the buck he shot using Precision Rifle's Dead Center .40 240 grain bullet at a little over 100 yards. It dropped in its tracks. Congratulations Mike! I would be smiling too.
