I'd say good enough this close to hunting season. Even if the bullet impacts further from your aim point than you like, it will still pound em. I've never shot any local deer with anything bigger than a 270 or 6.5 and the deer hardly make it anywhere.

Nice, gotta love early season rifle tags.

Surf and turf! Very cool.

Love it.

I wasn't so much touching on the ammo itself (I know that was mentioned, I am unsure if that is true, maybe someone else knows?) but more so the cartridge design. Lack of belt, higher BC bullets, ect... that leads to a more likley outcome the bullet hits where you want it. That said, I...

The PRC is inherently more accurate which makes it better for hunting. If you already had a 7mag, buddies all had them or had some other reasons, then its worth looking at. That does not seem to be the case here.

Buddy, with that type of track record, I feel like you owe it to the girl to take an elk with her. A good brake will cut recoil in 1/2, think .243 level. Maybe have the smith work on the trigger a little and upgrade the scope while you're there. It'll do great, especially with your familiarity...

Most people have a problem admitting they don't like recoil so props to you. I would not trade more gun for something you hate shooting or cant shoot well. Talking "smaller" elk calibers. I've shot 8 or so with my .270, I found the 130SST to work very well. Remember if you stick with a smaller...

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Rock on. Stud buck.

Here is some actual data on it from a local college (UCSD) showing the change from year 1 to year 4.

Nice! Story - State?

Thanks! It has been shown that even small environmental patterns can have significant effects. This is outlined pretty well in some of the behavioral books - Duhig / Clear. Another book I read (I forget the author) showed how small invisible changes can literally swing an election. Ballot...

No need to make it personal, especially if you don't know your audience. We're all trying for a better future. PS: I am currently pursuing a Masters and my Wife a PhD, we are both almost done - she also teaches and I get to hunt A LOT.
