Well Allan, you said that it a large carnivore and you fired several rounds at it, but you didn't say what kind of carnivore we are talking about. Coyotes are not large as a rule, at least not by me, and they will scout on their own, but generally hunt in packs, especially where food is plentiful, like herds of cattle, calves. No matter what you do, keep in mind the availability of ammunition no differently than purchasing a tractor. What good is a tractor if you can't get parts or service for it? No more useful than a firearm that you can't get ammunition for, and believe it or not, even .22 LR is hard to find these days. One thing is for sure, out by me I must have the only 30.06s because even though most all else is sold out other than .22 WMR or .17 HMR by CCI, I can walk out with boxes of 150, 164, 180 GR 30.06 anytime, and have been. Try to find or buy .223/5.56mm ammunition for a varmint rifle these days. Two months ago .223/5.56mm was going for 27 cents at bulk of 500, 25 cents at bulk of 1,000. Now IF you can find it, it won't be in bulk, it will be in boxes of 20 at a cost of $1.00 per round, 55 or 60 GR. That's what I'm paying for 150 GR 30.06, and there are piles of 30.06, and that will debone a "small carnivore" like a coyote, from head to tail. Will certainly take down whatever "large carnivore" you are dealing with. I have a scoped Remington 700 30.06, love it. Another bolt, old Winchester 54 Gov.06, no scope, love it. Remington 760 Gamemaster 30.06 four shot pump, no scope, one of my favorites. Ever since I got my diabetes under control, no drugs and got my vision back, I'm back to enjoying good vision.
Don't forget, its no different than a tractor. No parts, service, no good. A great looking empty firearm will do no good against a "large carnivore" that is out there eating your calves.
And one of fellas mentioned having fired a .458 WinMag. That's a fun rifle. 500 GR rounds, about $8.00 each on sale, couple hundred yards, will take down any charging elephant, rhino, hippo, or tractor that is acting up and needs to be put out of its misery, that's for sure.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
