Congrats on the nice elk and fine shooting

Congrats on your first mule deer and fine shooting

Thanks guys, it is a BC southern interior Rocky Mountain Elk

Been keeping an eye on this guy since May.After too many close calls he finally slipped up. Hit him hard with a 225 from the 338wm and he hit the deck but true to form, back up he got so he got another one and managed to go about 70 yards before going down for good.

I got some H1000 I will play with. That is a fine looking group.

Finally got around to 200 Accubond with 72.5g RL22. Looks very promising. 3 shot group at 100 yds. = 0.674". The 200 Partition with 70.5g H4831 was OK but 100 fps slower and not quite as tight. Thinking this one will work for Elk or Moose. Statistics/Velocity Report...

Thanks guys,gonna start with nosler recommended H4831 and stack it up against RL22.Will post my results.

Have 200g Partitions and Accubonds that I would like to load.Powders I have available are RL22,25,Imr and H4831, H4350,H1000. All seem that they would get the job done depending on what my rifle prefers. Trying to figure out where to start and wondering what experienced advice you can give me.

With RL22 being very difficult to find right now I was looking at trying RL25 (which I have a surplus of) in the short mag with 140/150g bullets. Anyone using it? Only load data I have found is Lymans. Looking for min/max or real life experience if you have tried it.

Best thread ever, awesome story and great pics.

Congrats, like the Dr said a grand kid is a grand kid

Never had a problem with accubonds getting the job done. 140g from a 270wsm and this guy hit the dirt.

Wow what a fantastic hunt. Congrats on your trio. The 270wsm with Noslers just gets it done

Go get em bud, the H&H is moose medicine for sure, but as I found out the 270wsm is very capable of getting the job done.

Congrats on an awesome bull
