[QUOTE="338weatherby, post: 2202770, member: 114213"] I drew a Wyoming elk tag for unit 39. I will be bringing my 7 saum and I always bring one additional rifle, sometimes two. The saum is pretty much ready to go but I’ll have to come up loads and get more trigger time behind whatever else I decide to bring with. Here are my options currently in the safe. 7x57AI with 160 AB’s. Shoots great and I’m getting 2835fps with current load 338-06 with? I have loaded up 225 AB’s to around 2650-2700fps. Thought about trying 180 AB’s or maybe hammers. 9.3x62 with 250 AB’s? I’ve seen a few recipes out there that will get around 2600fps but I haven’t loaded up anything for this one yet. I’ve got dies and components now to do so. Only ran factory PPU through it so far. 300wsm. I know this will work with a lot of options. But there’s something about using a bellybutton gun that steers me away. I have a custom 338 LM improved being built but I don’t think I’ll be seeing it until October-November. Just looking for some opinions. I haven’t hunted this unit but I believe it’s safe to say shots should be in the 150-500 yard range. [/QUOTE]
