Well I wish I had good news to report.
My buddy and I hunted from the Silver Bullet Lodge, a supposedly trophy moose/never fail lodge in which neither of us saw a reasonable bull moose. The largest I saw in the timber from 1,150 yards, across a canyon, was about a 14 pointer which we could not get to. My buddy's largest he saw that he could have shot was a small 9 pointer, on which he passed on day 2.
The outfitter says that both hunters have never been blanked in the history of this lodge and they say they post a 93% success rate. Such is hunting. We were offered a reasonable discount on a future hunt and they truly felt badly for us.
So, I'll have to use all that load development on a subsequent hunt.
Thanks for all your help.
Next is Red Stag in Argentina in March. So I'll need to develop a good load for the 124 grain hammer hunters for the 6.5PRC. I have the Hammer website info.
That will start next week…
Be well.
