Thanks all - My partner/Spotter/Guide will have his 30.06 so I'll take a leap of faith an hunt again with the Grendel. The A-Max managed to enter the inside of the left shoulder of my Ram and exploded into fragments which destroyed a nice bit of his back-strap. While not a through and through that's at least 48 inches of penetration. Getting within 240 yds of him was a gift and the shot was less than ideal but I can afford to be a little more picky about my range and shot placement on a moose. This is a subsistence hunt for me so if I have a clean head/CNS shot its bed time for bonzo. We'll have a substantial base-camp nearby and won't be humping up to 4.5K so I should at the very least have some photos that will further entice you guys to visit The Last Frontier ;-)
