[QUOTE="Nikkel, post: 898088, member: 52953"] Thanks to you all I made my first and not only first but successful first long range shot . I shot my spike bull elk in the mountains of Idaho at 685 yds!! After watching him for 20 minutes I made the decision to take my shot and would have never took the shot without the confidence I had from all I learned here. Only made one shot for the kill. It started with the reloading forum that helped me as a novice with my equipment decisions which were( forester press,forester bench rest dies,Wilson trimmer,tumblers tumbler with stainless,) End pproduct for my 300 wsm sm was168 gr Barnes ttsx with 70.5 grains of RL19 with fed.mag. Primer.this got me a consistent 1.1/4 inch 5 shot group at 200 yds with my HS Precision mountain rifle. I can't tell you how rewarding after the countless hours of learning and loading different rounds to find the right load for my gun that I had when I found that bull laying not 30 yds from where he was standing when I took that shot. My son in law upon arriving to the kill site said holy crap how far was that..I answered with a smile and said "42clicks"Thank You to all that patiently answered all my beginner question. Have hunted since I was 8 yrs old and had never loaded my own ammo!! [/QUOTE]
