I killed this Buck after a day and a half of hunting and passing on 30-40 other bucks. We did see one bigger but he was on private property. I shot him at 220 yards and used my remington 700 SPS in .300 Win Mag and 180gr Ballistic Tips (Handloads). The shot was quartering toward me a little and...
Congradulations Jim,
Im gald you got one and at a new personal best that is cool. I never made it down to that spot this year we have been chasing them around closer to home but it is nice to know they are still there. The last time i was there was with you a few years ago. good write up and...
Jim,
You can check out my post in the elk section under 420 yd Elk. I killed it on the 5th of december. it was in a different spot alot closer to my house. I had been watching this small herd for a few weeks and finally my oppertunity came. look forward to you story.

What is the goal yardage this time. I also had that tag this year but I have already tagged out. My brother in law still has a tag this year and we will be working on getting him one in the coming month.
Good luck Jim
Ps the 300 is shooting good, thanks for letting me pick your brain all...
Any time you have to compensate for bullet drop to me is long range. but that all depends on the gun and load. a long shot for a .22 lr is different from a .300 utlra mag.
I have ran out of powder that I have been shooting out of my .300 win and bought some new. It is the same IMR4350 but a new lot how do you guys load for new powder lots? Do you start over from scratch or do you fine tune from the load before? I shoot 180 gr accubonds over 70gr of IMR 4350 I was...
Went out friday morning (My B-Day) looking for a cow elk to shoot. I was hoping to find one at least 600 yards away but while walking to my glassing spot I ran into the small herd I have been watching the last cuple weeks. they were a lot lower than usual and I couldn't pass on the oppertunity...
Here is my 2008 Wyoming antelope. I shot him at 295 yds. Not real long range but oh well. I was using a Rem. 700 sps stainless in .300 win and 180 gr accubonds. I hit him in the high shoulder and it exited at the base of the neck just in front of the opposite shoulder. it was a fun hunt and we...

I was looking at the new .308 marlin express and was wondering what kind of recoil to expect. I have never shot a .308. For those that have what is the recoil comparable to:
.243, .25-06, .270, .30-06, .300 win ?????????????
Thanks
Just wondering if It is bad on the meat if you put it in a plastic garbage bag then in you pack when packing out an animal. Trying to keep pack and gear blood free. This would mainly be during early season August/September any other ideas or tips welcome.
