Nice Maine Coon Cat:ROFLMAO:
All jokes aside that's a big kitty.
Back in the 60's before the area I grew up in was developed we had some large Bob cats, I had been fishing for small mouth Bass on a small creek back in the hills, I was stalked by a pair of bob cats wanting the stringer of Bass I...
Very nice Guy.
As for the 185gr Nosler JHP the AMU load is 4.3grs of N310, that load will hold under 3" at 50yds in a well-tuned 1911 .45.

Buy a cheap used 30-06 and send it to J.E.S. reboring in Idaho. Get his 4 lands and groove cut with a deeper than factory throat chamber so you can play with OAL when reloading and you won't regret it.
If you think you need more power have him cut the chamber for a 35 Ackley Improved 40 degree...
Don I'm so sorry to hear this and can't find the words to express my sorrow for you and your family.
