Love it Guy! Reviewing my story I see that the shot was actually only 560 yards... still, a light accurate rifle is the way to go IMO! Good luck!

Probably all of you know more about reloading, rifles, and bullets than me. That being said, I shoot a .270 Win with 150 gr. Nosler partitions in front of H4831 powder. My mature Wy bull last year was short north of 600 yards. Clean pass through and dead in 40 yards. I do not have any game...

Great idea 6mm. I have them cleaned up and ready. For whatever reason they are quite white. I’m tempted to wait for her first bull or a “better” set tho.

Very kind all! She is still smiling from ear to ear and we are looking forward to many more adventures with all of my kids.

You are all kind. Thanks for all the great comments! And yes Gerry, she is a lefty. My Wife and both daughters shoot left handed.

I love the 150 gr. BT in my 270 Win. It is accurate as can be and kills with authority. Congrats.

My 15 year old daughter shot her first elk Friday. This was a late season cow tag. We found the herd around 1 pm. She made a great shot at 225 yards and she went down quickly. Rifle is a savage 7mm-08 topped with a Vortex Viper scope. She was using hand loaded 139 gr. Interbonds on top of...

Both rifles will do the job. I went with the 7mm-08 for my wife and daughters. It is extremely accurate. I have worked up loads for the 120 gr. BT, the 140 gr. BT and the 139 gr. IB. We use Varget. In 2 weeks we head out for my youngest first cow elk. I have buddies who shoot the little 7 who...

Looks like a solid camp! 80 degrees after a long day chasing elk is heavenly. Good luck finding the ever elusive spike!

Congratulations on two great bulls and memories to last a lifetime! Thx for sharing!

Congrats on two great bulls! I have found smaller bulls taste great and to load one whole shot in the middle of the day is truly a gift!

Thank you!

Wow, beautiful animals, great table fare and incredibly scenic photos! Love it! Just returned home from my sons General season deer hunt. He only had 3 days to hunt so we did not hold out long. Dustin was able to break in his "new to him" .270 with hand loaded 130 gr. Ballistic tips. He made...

Great bull! Nicely done!

Congrats! Nosler makes great bullets!

We were over by star valley. Lots of hunters but enough elk to keep a guy hiking! And yes the .270 is great! I had a 7 mag for a long time. This rifle is a pleasure to shoot and has yet to let me down!

Thanks again. BretN, I love this rifle. It shoots excellent groups, carries well in the field and looks good!

Thank you all for the kind comments. Here are a couple of gore pics that show what the Partition did... Entry hole: about dead center of the bloodshot. Exit:

Just returned from beautiful Wyoming! My brother and I have been up three times this year trying to fill our elk tags. The first two trips were on the archery hunt. This was our first year hunting the general season tag. My brother missed a bull on the bowhunt. I did not get a shot until...
