What is the biggest game you can hunt with the 325 grain Leverevolution out to 125-150 yards?

I don't think I'd pull the trigger on a big Grizzly, but other than that you outa be all right. This is assuming a broadside shot, if it doesn't open up you still have a half inch hole, and 325 grains isn't going to stop too easily. If I'm not mistaken it'll still be packin the mail at 150 yds, that is the whole idea.

I dropped a nice buck last Nov 29 with a .45-70 LE out of a 22 inch Handi Rifle at 220 yards.  It was a bang flop pass through kill.  I love them, they shoot.  I don't think I'd hesitate to use them on black bear or elk.
