How come you aren't shooting that accubond load at wolves?

There wasn't much point in taking it home :/...he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. ~Thomas Jefferson

I know a guy that shot a fox with a 300wm and Alpha wouldn't even tan it since it was almost in 2 pieces!
I wonder about a 110gr TTSX out of the 270? I've been carrying my .223 with 62gr TTSX in case I managed to call a wolf. I finally called a coyote in last year but I missed it so no report!

Personally, I'd rather go with a solid for fur. See plenty of guys here with more field fur experience than I, apparently making frangible rounds work just fine tho...sigpic

Originally posted by Hunt&FishAK View PostI had a chance for a great wolf last week. And failed. I didn't bring my rifle with me on that trip. Held it in hand before leaving home, was strongly considering bringing it, and alas, i thought to myself will i really need it? probly not. so it stayed home...... NEVER AGAIN! LESSON LEARNED! Was ice fishing a copper valley lake.... Camped out on the ice for 4 days. The 2nd morning I rode back to camp after early AM fishing at a spot aways off and, stepping back out of the tent to enjoy the early afternoon sun, I spotted movement on the lake. A wolf, dark in color, was running right up the very trail I had made only a few moments before! I figured the distance at 200-250 yards. **** IT ALL!!! No gun.... I watched him as he sniffed and trotted his way along. I felt a breeze on my neck, and then he froze, and looked and stared right at me. I haven't been sleeping well since.....I'm haunted by that missed opportunity.
