Just finished a period with my legs elevated and heat. It does feel good after Dr. Mike's thermal treatment. Now for some Voltaren.

I hope the knees feel better real soon Dr. Mike.
I have a feeling those elk are gonna find out what the 9.3 feels like on the receiving end!!

Thanks, Pat. I'm certainly hoping that an elk will shortly discover what a 250 grain AB feels like when I invite her home for dinner.

Doc.
Getting old sucks, thankfully my knees have held up. I can only immagine your frustration at having both go out on you, during hunting season to boot. Sounds like you have plenty of time to take a cow, we hope that works out for you. Intrigued by your choice of caliber/rifle. The 9.3 has always interested me and I look forward to the final report.
Stay safe, take care of your knees and good luck.

Don,
I built the 9.3X64 because I could. My largest calibre at the time was a 35 Whelen, and I was intrigued by the cartridge. So far, all I've taken was a whitetail buck. At impact, he dropped--there was no hesitation. His legs splayed out and he was flattened. It is as close as one could get to a 375 (whether an H&H or a Ruger is immaterial) without actually loading a .375 bullet. Actually, it is a pleasure to shoot and it groups quite nicely.
Yeah, growing old ain't for cowards. However, it could be worse. I do intend to take a cow elk, and I do have some time to do so. Onward and upward.

It is getting better, Joel. Seems that I recall from somewhere in the dark recesses of my murky past, some stripe telling me that pain was just weakness leaving the body. I seem to have accumulated quite a bit of weakness over the past several years! :shock: :grin:
