Reelman we are cut from the same cloth. The 7MM carbine, 300 Savage and 250-3000 are new to me this year. I have worked up loads for them and when they get bloodied will go back in the safe to await a return to the field. I never got a deer last year with the little Ruger custom #1 so that's getting priority.

I have shot deer with my M70 375 H&H and a custom 416 Taylor. I also used the Taylor on an Elk. For some reason that still escapes me I just bought a Ruger #1 Tropical rifle in 450/400 NE and I'd like to see that used on a deer. I'm waiting on the shell holder to work up some loads. Robert Ruark said it best...."Use enough gun"
