Nope, I hunt with a CZ American Safari rifle. It's a 458 Win Mag. I shoot a 405 grain paper patched cast lead bullet at 1,800 fps out of it for Elk. If the silly bugger you hit runs over the edge of a canyon, you could spend a full day or more finding it and getting it out to the truck. You REALLY want to anchor them as fast as possible. For deer it's a 350 grain gas checked cast bullet at about 2,600 fps. They never run far and little bloodshot meat.
