CO for 2nd season elk.

Yes, going back with Divan Labuscahgne who we hunted with in 2024.

I'm looking at 2 buffalo and a hippo in the Caprivi and finishing up with a couple of nights at Vic Falls in Aug. '27.

Thats a nice find!

I have a sweet like Husky chambered in it. Got it along with cases , dies and a bunch of bullets. I haven't really played with it much and could be talked out of it for a very good deal.

I use a Tufpak with 2 rifles in sturdy semi rigid soft cases and everything has survived 3 trips to Africa.

When the taxidermy finally arrives is a celebration day where you get to relive the hunt again. My sons kudu from Nambia taken in August 2024 arrived last week, along with the Euro mounts we did on our other animals. A nilgai is definitely on my list.

Shot this funky hartebeest in Namibia in 2024.

You can run 220s with the 300 Win Mags 1-10" twist. I'm making an observation not an argument. I guess what I mean is if you have a good 300 Win Mag today, there is no appreciable difference worth "Upgrading" to. If you gave me a new Proof Research 300 PRC I would gladly take it!

Since the Reloader series of powders are now unavailable to the public, what if the benefit of the 300 PRC over the 300 Win Mag? Velocities are the same with available powders and at lower charge weights. Modern cartridge design, blah blah blah.

They have been readily available for years.

No bullet is so accurate that it makes up for poor terminal performance if not placed perfectly.

My go to bullet in my 300 Win Mag is the 180 grain Barnes, I've just never tried them in my Whelen. I have a CO elk hunt coming up but will carry the 300 since the area is open ranchland. I'd like to try the 225 TSX on a Nilgai some time. As you can see, I like to keep my rifles similar. The...

I take a more traditional approach with 55 grs. of RE15, standard LR primers and a 250 grain Northfork semi spritzer at 2500 fps with single digit SDs. Hasn't let me down on 2 safaris and 8 animals.

H110 if you are looking for full power loads.
