    280 REM & 7RM

    With the 280 Rem, the pressure of max loads is consideraby less than say with the 270Win, as the 280 load data was limited by the semi-automatic rifles it was chambered in.

    What’s your favorite cartridge?

    6.5 WSM. It is a good choice in my mind for antelope and Coues. Have used it with the 124 HH a couple of times on cow elk with no regrets.

    Who was your mentor (regarding guns, hunting, etc.) ?

    I am pretty much self-taught reading magazines and books back in the 80s and 90s. My dad did not hunt or fish.

    Arizona Elk Hunt Draw Results?

    Many hunters' portal accounts say they did not apply. Some could not update their CC info. Yep, the portal system is screwed up. AZGFD has said the draw and portal are independent, so not to worry as one would be in the draw even if the portal says they did not apply (whether to believe this...

    Arizona Cow Elk Hunt
