[QUOTE="Hornhunter32, post: 1116901, member: 30226"] I drew my once in a lifetime elk tag for ND. As residents, we have about a 1% chance of ever drawing a bull tag. It's not a preference point system so it's pure luck. For this hunt, I took my SSG 280 AI loaded up with 168 Berger Classic hunters for packing and my SSG 300 Jazz loaded up with 215 Bergers for the really long shots. I took a bull in Wyoming with my 300 Jazz last year so I really wanted to take a bull with my 280 AI. So on September 6th, that is exactly what I did. The bull presented me with a perfectly broadside, 350 yard shot. I shot him in the high shoulder and he didn't go more than 50 feet. The damage was more than I expected. The bullet didn't exit and the internal damage was extensive. I will not hesitate to use it on my next elk hunt. He grossed 360 1/8 [/QUOTE]
