NICE BULL! WHAT DID IT SCORE? 330? HOW WIDE? NICE SHOOTING?

ShatoDavis

Thanks. Gross scored 320. 296 after deductions. Wilderness rifle hunt in the bugle. The shooting was marginal at best. Shot three time at 350 yards... only one hit. But, that one hit was perfectly placed. I got him, thats what counts I guess.

Rebel Hog

Shato, great bull ! What gun and cal did you drop him with?

ShatoDavis

Rebel,
338 win mag, with handloaded rounds. 225 grain nosler partition over 75 gr. of H4831sc. Shot was taken at 350+/- yards. Out of three only one hit. Embarassing but its the truth. Too often the truth gets overlooked these days, especially on the net.

Shato, I use the BLR .358mag when I go to the high country.
Down below I use the Ruger 7mm Mag.
I have a shoe box full of pictures and need to have them scanned
to the computer. When I do I will Post them. The last one I killed
was with a .270win in Rifle Colorado,1995.

Rebl,
You have said that you shoot a BLR .338 Win mag,was it custom or where did you find it.I'm intrested thats all.

Rebel Hog

Bare back, changed the 3 to a 5, sorry about that.
My A-Bolt is .338mag.

BareBack Jack

I was wondering if you did not mean the .358,how has that traeted ya for elk?

I have longed for a BLR .338,I'm afraid I will settle for the new .325 WSM in the BLR and try to be happy.

ShatoDavis

Yeah that makes more since.[8D] Hey guys thanks for your comments. I didn't mean for this to be about me though. I was hoping everybody could post a pic. or tell there story from this last fall. The second best thing to hunting is hearing a good hunting story.
