Thanks for the compliments on the animal and all guys. Appreciate it.
Bob,
The rifle I used was a competition rile I've been using alternately this year. It's not light
I had it put together and chose the 230 Berger to be as close ballistically to the 338 Lapua as is possible without actually being a 338 Lapua. I figured if I built a Lapua, it would seldom be used. It's been a great rifle and the load has performed well.
When I glassed up the first goat I decided to go after there were two rifles on my passenger seat; my .264 WM and this match rifle. The former is about 11 pounds and the latter 15. The ground was not much of a challenge to walk, but I knew I would be putting in at least 3 miles.
I reached for the one that has been shooting a little better
Last time out confirming data and practicing before the Steel Safari, we shot some ELR stuff with friends. It continually pounded a 30" rock at 1571 yards.
