joe IIRC you stay at home and shoot elk at long distances from the house with a blown out 270 magnum of some sort....so I guess I could ask you the same question(?) No?
Oh no Bob you just didn't say that did you Now don't be jealous cause I have my own place to hunt. Hell yeah I shoot them from the front porch (you and every body else would do the same thing if you had such a place) with many different things. But if I'm going to all the work that the Mashburn take I would go for much bigger gains like the 7mm Allen.
Joe wasn't knocking it....I just wanted to be sure I had the right guy! Didn't you have an Allen mag? A 270 of some sort? that's what I recall....
As to the gains,yes they can be small,but they are consistent, rifle to rifle....but you just get the velocity easier from it...since I am basically down to three BG calbers(Mashburn,270,and 375H&H)the time for loading is not a factor.
