Next Sunday is opening day in Montana, so i imagine you will head up there soon. Good luck hunting Elk. I am heading up there this next Thursday or so, and will set up camp in the Little Belts. I only have a tag for antlerless white tail, but hopefully i will count coup on an Elk.
I'm still looking for a powder container that will fit in the muzzle. I'd carry the bullets separate for the convenience of not even having to look as I pour the powder. The only "funnel" I used was my fingers on each side.
Yes, thanks, I'm off for elk on the 30th. I don't fight the crowds. Elk/muley/antelope this year. We're camping in the back country this year to get less hiking time and more hunting time. We're going in with backpacks only so it will be challenging.
I'm seeing pretty chilly forecasts...don't know if it stuck but when my buddy sent photos of his big bow 6X6 there was already snow in the back country...
The Omega and 325gr FTX are going for antelope.
