    '94 F250 460 coolant leak

    All good advice above. I just did this one year ago on my '96 7.5L and there's a few things to watch for.

    125gr Nosler BT .308 deer bullet

    I used that bullet for several years on deer and antelope. MV was over 3,000fps from a 24" barrel .308 and they were very accurate and exceptionally destructive. They often didn't exit on rib shots and shoulder hits were a meat hunters nightmare.

    California deer

    The best place to see deer in CA is in subdivisions, they are safer there from the over-abundance of lions. I have 200 acres of rolling hills with oak and brush here and don't see deer regularly anymore. I walk the dusty trails and roads and there's a few deer tracks but mostly bear and lion...

    Twist rate and penetration: also factors effecting penetration and wound channels in general

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    ;) May be if there was a reason to design a bullet specifically for damage to flesh and bone, it would only need a cannelure to be the perfect......oh wait!

    What is "the" 308 win load?

    If you want to replicate the devastation of the 223/77 TMK try the 125gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip over a max load of AA 2460.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    That's the best thing about using a bolt action rifle, it doesn't slow you down like a semi-auto. You don't have to wait for it to cycle and can shoot as fast as you want. ;) Congrats on the moose.
