Hog light on feeder. Challenge yourself 22 with a can about an inch below the ear. Do double taps each shot.

In dense timber I would op for a hand gun something more manuverable in tight spaces, either 44 mag with buffalo bore ammo or a 460 rowland. There is a great conversionfor a glock 21. At least add to spotter for backup to 45-70

No freebore and square lands would definetly cause the problems you have. Have your smith take a 30 cal throating reamer and cut it till you don't mark the bullet. should only take a few thousandths.

Ditto on what bigngreen said "Shot placement and bullet function are what kill elk, that's it! Foot pounds of energy, cal or size of case all have little to nothing to do with successfully and cleanly taking elk, elk don't magically soak up bullets nor are they particular hard to kill, a bullet...

The main way from what I understand to contract disease from hogs is when you gut them. Many guys I know do a gutless processing, hams, shoulders and backstrap thus leaving the ribs and inside untouched what a waste but they feel is safer. I just wear dishwashing gloves and make sure I wash all...

My first designated gun to hunt yotes was a RRA Varmint 20 inch 223 wylde it loved 75 grain hollow points. farthest kill was 425 yards. Guaranteed sub 1/2 moa and did not fail. That being said the 6x45 or as others call it 6mmx223 with 70 or 75 grain pills, and the 6.5 grendel with 90 or 100...

There are manny post about Palma shooters using 155 grain match bullets moving around 2960 for 1000 yards. You have to be able to read the wind.

Ruger American in 6.5 grendel. or the 300 Blackout is good for the 150 yard Range. Guns weigh around 6 lb

Look at Woox Stocks wood ansd aluminum combined.

Have not used this load but have in my book to try one day on my 35, 150 Core Lokt, Federal 210m(MATCH LARGE RIFLE), IMR 3031 40.0 grains. This might be a good staring point. for the 140 hammers.

I know you said 300 PRC or 300 WM but for components and performance 30-06 AI will do the job on elk and deer. Load with 180 grain bullets. and in a pinch off the shelf 30-06 ammo works. I built Rem 700 with X caliber 20 inch 9.5 twist barrel and it shot amazing, wish I had never sold it...

Way to go scouting before the hunt and coming back to find him...great story. That is the way to hunt.

I have used 8208xbr with 123 SST but a friend of mine just did a load with 29.5 grains CFE and 130 eldx that shot 5 within 1/2 inch. I am going to try with some 129 sst bullets I have.
