Last time my son and I hunted together I was focused on working the dog. I got one bird, my son shot four! :) Working the dog is awesome, but I don't get to do as much shooting. Apparently my son is up to the task. Guy

This makes my heart happy. :) When my old GWP Clark was about 8 years old he slowed down a fair bit - and hunted better. What a dog! I miss that good boy, he only made it to 10 years until cancer got him. Guy

I dunno Fotis... Am thinking you might have shot that target with a double-barrel gun... ;) I like the idea of seating the bullet a bit deeper to see if the group will tighten up. Guy

The more I use E-Tips, CX, and TTSX, the more impressed I am. The all-copper hunting bullet has evolved into an excellent choice. Guy

Great shooting Jim!

A 38/357 is so doggone great to own, load and shoot! I just tumbled, deprimed and resized a coffee can full of 38 cases yesterday. Will be loading them for target practice soon. I shoot the revolvers a lot in the winter as the cases go where I want them instead of burying themselves in the snow...

A Steve Timm wrote favorably of the 358 Winchester and had a bit to say about it in Nosler's Number 3 reloading manual. Not sure where else he was published back then, but he liked it a lot. Guy

Glad it worked out for you! Guy

Nearly 10 years later this popped up for me - and my goodness it's still one heck of a hunt. Guy

I am worried about what happens to our "public lands" if they're returned to the states... I suspect that much of it will be sold off to the highest bidder, becoming condos, resorts, etc... With no hunting or fishing allowed. Our public lands are the closest thing we've got left to the old...

Outstanding! A friend of mine had his 308 BLR re-bored to 358 Win when the actual 358's were very hard to find. He topped it with an Aimpoint red-dot, this was 25 years ago... He nicknamed it "Killer" after a long streak of kills on elk, mule deer and black bear. I think you're going to...

Congrats to both of you! Looks like the Accubond was well placed and did the job just fine. Guy

OUTSTANDING! A great story accompanied by great photos. Thanks so much! My congrats to the young hunter and the entire family! Guy

That's a fine reason! :) I shot some 360 Buckhammer 180 & 200 grain Remington ammo. The 180 gr ammo was seriously consistent with single digit SD figures. The 200's weren't as good, but were just fine. Then I handloaded some 200 gr Hornady RN bullets in it and wow! Excellent results...

My son has taken quite a few mule deer & whitetail with the little 95 grain Ballistic Tip at 3100 fps from a 6mm Remington. Often the bullets are recovered, well expanded with about 50% weight retention. My 25-06 has done a great job for me with the 115 grain Ballistic Tips loaded to about...

Congrats!

Outstanding! Yes, elk can be tough critters. You both did well, and I thank you for the great story & photos. Guy

Great advice from someone with a lot of experience. I've taken elk on my own and with an outfitter. There's a lot of benefit to going with an outfitter... If you've got two or three other guys hunting with you on a DIY hunt, you've got a source of help, and backup if there's an emergency...

BTW - have you considered just handloading your 300 Weatherby for less velocity & recoil instead of buying a different rifle? I've owned both the 300 WSM and the 300 Win Mag and like them both. The 300 WSM was quite accurate, but a 300 Win mag can also be seriously accurate. The 300 WSM had...

Thanks! I thought that's what you meant - because the good ol' 300 Weatherby is quite powerful. Regards, Guy
