Huntsman: There are formulas. smile

A buck with a hanging weight (like yours) of 173 #'s will have an estimated live weight of about 289 pounds...if I did the math right.

I have seen these formulas before but just pulled this one down off the Innanet....so it has to be right wink




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
