[QUOTE="alseg, post: 1003277, member: 50714"] Got this one in SW Wyoming with 185 gr Berger VLD classic hunter by ABM in 300 Win Mag with Rem 700 rifle 26" barrel, 14X scope at 371 yards single shot. It did exit the chest but the big bull went down right away. I had success with Bergers in a .308 on whitetail with my T3, so I kept with the formula. I do not reload (too much woodworking clutter in basement...you know the drill, no pun intended), so I found ABM for the WinMag and HSM for my 7mmRem. 45 deg F with 10-12 R to L crosswind at approx. 9200 ft elevation. My first Elk. Came on first day of rifle season in the AM, and the bull was tending 3 or 4 cows and lagging behind them just a bit. After mission accomplished (no W jokes please) I took an archery lesson--another first. Wyoming tag and licence for out of state ran about 1100. Conservation stamp was another 15 or 25. Hunt was guided. Pre-hunt treadmill workouts definitely paid dividends as there is potential for a lot of uphill brisk walking at altitude. [/QUOTE]
