Yes mr. Miner I am , unfortunately the state of Washington decided not to grant me a permit to harvest any bull elk in my favorite areas. So hunting spikes will another elk season for us. Luckily I have 2 trail cameras in a really good canyon that has produced 18 different spike bulls this year...
Nilgai would be an awesome hunt, been snooping around for a adventure. The father in law took one in Texas , used a 338 win mag. The bull soaked up 2 really well placed rounds.
Picked up a browning bar mk 3 left hand in 300 win mag. Mostly when I go into thicker country and most of my bolts are built for long range open country. Looking for pointers and experience with semiautomatic rifles. Not sure if my hand loads are feasible but picked up two boxes of federal...
All I can say is in 300 win mags, shoots outstanding with 185 classic hunters,77 to 78 grain of h1000. 2 browning a bolts and a christense n Mesa. 180 partition or accubond same load they shoot great. Hope that helps.
