I have several sleeping bags, and the one I choose during the moose season in the interior of Alaska is a military sleeping bag. The one I am referring to has an outer GoreTex bag that keeps the following bags dry (if you sleep on the snow or wet ground). The sleeping bag is comprised of two sleeping bags, a thin one you can use alone if warm at night, and a heavier sleeping bag (black color). If very cold at night, and you don't need to use the GoreTex liner, what you do is to unzip the heavier bag, then place the thin bag inside the heavier bag, then you get inside and zip the thin one, followed by the heavy one. They cost around $125.00 (slightly used).
But I would take it to a reliable dry cleaner's and have them washed professionally before use. Don't wash the GoreTex outer liner. It comes in a compression bag, so it won't be bulky.
The .270 is a good choice, and so the .338WM loaded with 225-grain TTS-X (that's what i use in Alaska).
