[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 1144560, member: 21869"] Wow what a long thread. Ive been mostly hunting with no success in NW MT since wolf hit.I also look for mature animals, didnt even see a branched bull in rifle.Taken alot of 6pts over the years.Ive shot the 300 otm since 2010. I have typically shot larger caliber as main elk hunter.340 wby then 338 NM,two that I and friends use. I have shot at least 20 elk with partitions,teacher I had in school shot elk with mainly them for ever.He shot elk since 12 every year into his 60's.Ive shot speed goats,deer,bear and elk and moose with the otms with devastating results almost on the side of gory,like too much.I have not recovered a bullet only pieces.Concerned hearing the failures in the 388 size.Which will lead me to pack some 300 NAB's in my pouch.As Phorwarth I packed a different bullet when using my lighter rifles like 325 wsm and 257 wby.Dont have any real long shots on the game past 900 to test in that regard.But shot bull elk and moose point blank in thicket under 50 yrds.I expected to roll them as I have knocked alot of game off it feet with my 340 well out to 600 yrds.But the exits where large and blood trail unreal. I agree there is no perfect bullet,one reason I favor the 338's,I shot a 6pt.going awy from me with 340 w/partition,threw edge of rear quarter and stopped at hide in front shoulder. Ive shot all the bullets over the years,still have some grand slams loaded for 7RM.Did get my kid in on buck of a lifetime on opener he took him at 500+ with my 338 NM and a 300 otm. [/QUOTE]
