[QUOTE="MachV, post: 2326385, member: 93"] I had the Tikka 338Fed along, its a light carry in the moutains rifle but a poor choice for the wide open prairie. So I was useing Tysons Sako in 300wm shooting 178 Amaxes with Vortex scope and altra 7 can. Was going to give the all bulls in the herd a pass but this guy stopped in the middle of the herd right smack dabb in the middle of the two track at 350 yards. When the cows cleared him I must have hurried the shot and the shot hit him low ham. Welll that put us in getterdone mode in a hurry. We cought up with them a couple more times but didnt get a shot till we went for broke and cut them off at the bottom of the mountain. I was on the bipods watching them file out of the bottom when Tyson yelled stand up your bull is 100 yards below us. I stood up and double lunged him, it slowed him down some more but he was walking straight away from us twards the road. Back on the ground and bipods waiting for a shot I realized he was not going to get mounted so when he turned his head to look at the herd a 178Amax to the base of the scull flattened him right then and there! In total discloser I fired 7 rounds and hit him with five😳 Some of the worst shooting I've ever done, I could blame the unfamiliar gun? But in reality trying to stay on one critter without hitting an innocent bystander in the herd aint fun! I usually bone a critter out where it lands but in this case we gutted him and used the winch over the rollbar to get him in the back of the Commander(way overloaded) put it on the trailer and unloaded it again to back it into the garage to hang for skinning and butchering......easy way to get them from drop spot to butchering spot😎 [/QUOTE]
