[QUOTE="ripjive9311, post: 1454069, member: 106065"] After this hunt I will work up a load for it cause I have about 40lb of different powders and at 3$ a round the weekly practice is going to add up quick and I will try the Berger bullets. I plan on shooting 20 rounds per session and always bring a 22lr with me to settle my mind while the rifle cools, right now for me I have to concentrate hard to keep out bad habbits and it taxes the mind so 20 will be plenty per session. I did not get the long range and opted for just he Mesa due to weight and other than my practice the idea is to carry lot and shoot a little and I am not large so weight is a concern. The ballance feels good but I have been shooting a Ruger #1 A so I am used to a very short rifle.After I get a sling and bi pod on it I will weight the package. I have hunted Nevada my entire life but not this area so I plan on a couple of scouting trips as well as showing up 4 days before the hunt and I also plan on staying the full two weeks if I have to(wife aint happy about that one) but no guide for this one. I have a team of four other hunters that did not get tags that are going to help me so I want to either succeed or fail on our own. I have no issues with guides and have used them before but just want to do this one without one. I also realize I will not get another Elk tag in Nevada so this one is it.....just hope I am still alive to get my Mountain Goat tag that I have been working on for 15 years also but if that one comes I will use a guide for it due to terrain and horses. We have horses but they are not the type to take you up a mountain they just want to fly around three barrels and go home. I apretiate the help and will post results as they come. [/QUOTE]
