Best Caliber for Tiny 10?

With respect to the tiny ten, has there been any experience with using pistol calibre bolt action rifles such as the Ruger 77/357, 77/44? Low velocity and easily obtained in hard cast or fmj loadings. Also any experience with any of the 7.62x39 bolt guns. Not advocating, just asking the question to increase my knowledge.
No experience, but...
The pistol/revolver calibers are low velocity even through a rifle barrel. So you get a rainbow for trajectory and long flight times. And you are aiming at small targets that might move quickly. Shooting distances would have to be short.
 
The Tiny Ten are trophy animals. The faster small calibers are going to waste the carcass - for a full mount the skin should not have gaping holes. That is why a shotgun or 375 solid is used - minimal carcass damage. Body shots are the norm.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
