I wanted to give everyone an update after my elk hunt! Decided a 16 inch 308 wasn’t good enough and bought a 300 wsm. Still used a suppressor during the hunt on a browning x bolt hells canyon! One shot and the bull was dead on his feet! Before falling I did put another round in him but wasn’t...

Here’s a video on my brother in law and me hunting with Milligan brand if interested

Thank you! I feel lucky and blessed no doubt! I was using a browning x bolt hells canyon in 300 wsm. Bullet selection was a 180 grain nosler accubond. Final shooting distance was 224 yards. 1 shot and he stood still. While I was shooting the second shot he was falling.

Well guys just wanted to give an update on Milligan brand outfitter. Out of 11 guys 9 killed, 1 wounded a bull which counts as a kill “gut shot”, and one wasn’t able to shoot one “had physical limitations”. I had an amazing week and was never pressured to shoot anything I didn’t want too...

Y’all are making me nervous! I have my first elk hunt booked with them October 4th-8th. Rifle of course, I hope we hunt hard but honestly I think I would be happy with anything above 280 with 300 being preferred

Guys i appreciate the help. I have decided to go with a 300 wsm however. Came down to “why chance it”. So now I’ll be researching ammo for the 300 wsm and which rifle to get. Thanks guys

Sounds like i need to throw out the Hornady Precision Hunter ammo as well. I was thinking the 178 grain ELD-x would perform better with the lower velocities out of the 16inch barrel. But if im tracking right, the Hornady superperformce 165 grain sst would do the best? with the 165 grain...

I have not looked into the Hornady Superformance yet. Interesting option but why would you choose the SST over GMAX?

Thank you! I mainly want a shorter barrel due to having a suppressor that adds length. A 22 inch 300 wsm would probably be my alternative.

Yes i am looking into factory ammo currently

Thank you! The 308 is my choosing, however I've debated buying a 300wsm with a shooter barrel (suppressed) and using it for the hunt. I just like the idea of a one gun for all my adventures.

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a Sig Cross in a 308. The Cross is a 16inch barrel and I will have it suppressed. With the shorter barrel length, I'm debating what factory ammo would be best out of that shorter inch barrel for elk. This will be my first Elk hunt and the outfitter is advising...
