[QUOTE="Jim See, post: 879877, member: 69519"] I was shooting a 338 Lapua Improved. On the Surgeon face-book page we have it listed as a regular 338 lapua because we didn't want a bunch of calls about guys wanting a non-standard chambering. I am running the 300 otm at 3010 fps and it is a hammer. One other thing you may all enjoy, When we were quartering up the elk that evening about 130 elk came off the face of the mountain to feed, from our shooting position they were south, the elk we shot were west, so from our kill position we never seen them. As we walked out, in near darkness, I could hear cows mewing and figured some had come down, but had no idea there were 130 elk within 1/2 a mile of us. The next morning I got up at first light and soon watched that huge heard climb back up to bed, from 2 miles away with my spotting scope, I stopped counting at 100 might have been 12-15 legal bulls. I wished I could have traded up for one of those over 300 inches. This year was a dream trip for CO public land. I got 10 days in on aging my elk meat and boy is it a tasty elk. [/QUOTE]
