Had a blind set up on the side of a mountain. 567 Yards corrected for a 22 deg angle, to the nearest gut pile. Actual yardage was just over 600 yards.
First day: 2 Wolves came in and were checking the gut pile. Used the Handi 30-06 and took a shot. Missed. Had four Bull Moose come out into the open after sundown. Two little paddle heads, one about mid 30s, and one in the low 50s. The bigger one was a shooter, but he never approached closer than 700 yards corrected. Too far for the Handi.
Second day: Early morning before sunrise saw one Bull over 60 inch, over 1000 yards, too far for our range finders to range. Saw seven cows during the morning. Saw one wolf way up the river on the bank, it never showed itself again. Then right at sundown a Grizzly came walking up the river bank. When it smelled the gut pile it turned and ran into the spruces. It then circled around and came back out into the meadow way down wind. It then went to the gut pile and started feeding. I knew the Handi did not have the horse power for a Grizzly at that range, plus I had already missed a wolf at that range. Picked up the Weatherby .338/378. Settled down and took the shot. Hit the bear right behind the shoulder, good lung shot. Shot was a complete pass through, hitting both lungs. Bear turned and started running. Took a shot aiming at the spine as the bear ran away from my position. Missed the spine by 2", but that shot made the Grizzly roll. Grizzly sat up, I aimed at the neck. Shot broke the neck, killing it instantly.
Need to go work on the Handi, should not have missed the wolf. Have a new Burris scope 4X12X40. I am thinking I need to practice more on using that scope, and reading the Ballistic Plex reticle, and assure the load meets the markings. Shooting a new 200gr Nosler Partition loading.
