I don't know, but he was HUGE.
at the butcher with just the quarters, the weights of the animals were as follow
My buddies buck - 64lbs
My buck - 92lbs
My elk - 152lbs
So my buck was almost 50% bigger than my buddies and well over half the meat weight of a small bull elk lol

88.3gr N570. The 177's wouldn't quite stabilize in my rifle, but I'm super happy with the 169's!

We packed it all quite a few miles to one location and then had horses come grab it! The first buck and my buck were killed 6 miles apart, we still did a ton of packing hahaha.

That's awesome! That's exactly why I came to this site also! Thank you, and I appreciate that!
It's times like this when right after you pull the trigger you say to yourself " SELF....REALLY...WHAT DID YOU JUST DO"
Sounds brilliant to me! I did the same with my bull elk, packing out meat on mules is fantastic.

haha I actually passed a pretty good 6x6 bull on the very first evening. The packout would have been extreme and it would have wasted probably 3 days of our hunt. I was there to kill a big buck, I passed the bull and ended up killing my big buck and a bull, so it all worked out in the end!! This was the bull I passed.
I’ll have mine Med Rare….

Awesome buck……Congratulations !!
Makes the grind all worth it !! I can remember leaving out from our 8/10 day pack in trips into the West Elk Wilderness Area on several occasions whining & saying that I just don't know if it's even worth her efforts going back the next year after an as especially hard hunt. Only to find myself Every time becoming excited about planning the next trip within only just a few weeks. Rough times always seem to turn in to Good Times….& Great Memories !!

Out of curiosity did you ever try h1000? I'm running the 169 and would like to fill case a little more and didn't know if n570 did any better. Wonderful pictures and congratulations!!

Man, isn't that the truth. Sometimes you question why you're doing it and if you'll do it again. And then one hour after being the truck on the way home, you're already thinking about the next years hunt haha.
I have not used H1000. But N570 fills the case up nice! I've loaded for 3 hammers with N570 and it's basically a slightly compressed load with each bullet
