My son Mitch saw 30 head of elk on some of my wifes property last Thursday night, a day and a half prior to Cascade elk season. I have an Eastern Oregon tag but could have exchanged it for a Cascade tag. The herd consisted on 6 bulls, 4 spikes, the 5x5 and from what I'm told a huge 6x7. The...

Welcome to the forum. I always start my col at a length the just fits and feeds from the mag box, including Weatherbys.

Nope. If the primer pockets are still tight I'll keep using it. I do however back the charge weight down so it doesn't keep happening.

Scotty I would think the EOL would be pretty easy to get a good group fairly quickly. I've ran the 215 hybrids and they aren't to picky with seating depth, lives up to Bergers claim.

Scotty I've talked with him as well and it seems he treats everyone the same way, and it isn't good. Seems CS is not his strong suit.

I've had issues with the primer pockets as well when using Nosler brass. IMO it's WAY over priced for the quality you get. I don't use Nosler brass any more.

My thoughts exactly.

Have a great hunt and take lots of pictures.

Excellent job Gus and grandpa, a fine memory that will last forever.

If I remember correctly Weatherby offers 1 1/2 3 shot group unless it's a RC accumark. When my 338-378 would barely do 1 1/2 Weatherby didn't even want it sent in as it met their guarantee. I hope your rifle ends up shooting better than the one I had. I hate to say this but have you tried and...

Is this a new to you rifle or has it shot well in the past? My 338-378 never shot well no matter what I tried, that's why it became a 388 lapua.

Fotis does that size of group only happen with 225 AB's? Just by chance have you checked the action screws? My old 338-378 would loosen the action screws after 7-8 rounds and it too was bedded, blue loc-tite didn't even help.

The 165BT will work but IMO I would either opt for a little more weight, slow them down a little or get a bullet that won't expand quite as violently at 300wm speeds. Just my .02

Midsouth has standard federal 215's right now if anyone is looking.

Anyone currently use or have tried a trigger tech trigger? If so how do you like the trigger or dislike the trigger.

I have a fairly small additional pack, looks like a fanny pack that I can attach to my pack. I put all my extra cloths in when packing out elk. With my MR pack I can hold 2 front shoulders, or combo there of with a hind quarter. 2 hind quarters is a bit much weight wise but doable if needed. I...

IMO you have received some great advice and insight regarding your gear. What you have is going to work and work quite well. When your hunt is over you may find there were things you would change gear wise and somethings that worked better than you thought they would. Go enjoy your elk hunt...

I use the Mystery Ranch cabinet pack and I will say it is very comfortable to wear all day. Get the weight of the pack setting on your hips, lean slightly forward and tighten the load lifters and your off. If you were around here you could try mine to see if you liked it. As for boots I like...

Email Barnes, they will send you data for a 200 grain bullet.

Yes it does Mike, been down that road and didn't care for the ride.
