Thank you I've been extremely fortunate! Really don't want to come off as braggadocious , I will most definitely be a student here....alot of times only having a few quality tags a year it seems I'm more of a professional scout where as the guys over seas are professional killers !
That's 6.5x55 is a pretty sweet little rifle !! I've never done load work with one but have played with a 7x57 Mauser a little...pretty efficient round...and yeah the 300wsm is just like all the rest ! Just a bit different headstamp...I've been more geeked out on bullet construction then headstamps for about the last 10 years..been using hammer bullets lately and having pretty good luck so far..maybe a dozen kills with them..kind similar to the partition!
The days of affordable Elk hunting are gone...same with otc...it really is a shame..just got my new mexico draw results back and Goose egg...I did get an Idaho elk tag and my brother should get a wyoming Elk tag..then wa Elk, that's a pretty poor tag but better then nothing! Feeling like my years of consistent Elk tags are basically over so appreciating every moment of it
then an unexpected assignment to Japan
