Just Ordered My First Medium Bore Rifle

I’ve been skunked on drawing a tag the last few years. I’m working on load development for my 300WM for some long range capabilities. Given the area I’m likely to hunt will more than likely present shots over 300 yards, I’m not sure I’ll want to be carrying the 375. But I sure do know it will be sufficient to kill an elk. And some day I may take it just so it can take one. But for now my frustration with not being drawn will mean I will pull all the stops once I do get drawn so I don’t walk away empty handed.
Don’t ever think the .375 won’t reach out there. It shoots as flat as the .30~06, & packs a lot of punch when it arrives.

Congrats on the new Winchester m70 safari it's a wonderful choice,but I'm kinda bias, I just purchased the same one about 1.5 year ago.
The accuracy is excellent. My gun likes A-Frame and Woodleigh rn/sn,From the bench I managed .5in group with swift 300gr A-Frame w/H4350 78.9 gr.
Good luck with your new gun

Thanks for loading info. Unfortunately, finding powder or A frames is harder than a giraffe hunt in Arizona. I definitely have my eyes open though

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well
