476 inch elk, was #6 world record. Taken with an original 1874 sporting rifle (.45-70), iron sites at 204 yards. Incredible rifle.

We found his sheds last winter and spotted him twice, once in the spring, once in August. There were a number of really nice bulls in the area but we were holding out for the big guy.

    I love those old rifles. I have myself a Quigley replica from Shiloh in 45-110. I recently used it with 540 grain paper patch bullets on a bison hunt in Colorado. Those big hard cast bullets don't have the flashy ballistics of modern cartridges but those blunt-noses transfer energy extremely well. I fired one shot on my Bison and it worked perfectly, just like the old days

    What .45-70 loading was Jack using? Handloads or factory? I have a Marlin 1895 but man am I thinking of getting a Sharps now! Or maybe a Browning High Wall. Great shot Jack! Great cartridge, great rifle.
