I hunt elk with a T/C Icon Weathershield 30-06. I haven't changed the load in fifteen years. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Time will be short will have roughly two weeks to get things together. So won't have to much time to do load development. So might end up taking my 325wsm. But might take the 338 wsm if I can get to my reloading supplies in storage have the data so no real testing needed.. But did pick up a 7 mag but that will require some tinkering for a load though.. Or use the 06 I bought off bsa use his load data just have to decide 180gr partition or 165gr partition or drag the 7 wsm out that shoots 162 hornady pretty damn good or the 270 wsm that shoots 140gr accubonds pretty good too. Just take them all. Geesh!! Sound like an old woman trying to decide which lipstick to use.... I'll be using this ol girl: 338 win mag... Says the guy who changed up rifles last year when it started snowing.. Like a women when it starts raining and wearing the wrong shoes... . Smart woman ........Not..

The 9.3 Mouser is sooo 'elk-ish' but damn if I don't just love that little RSI to death... It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so... Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe. Stupidity has no average...

Texas	Well I know now, at least one of the rifles I'm taking (if not the only rifle I take) is going to be my Browning 1895 in 30 Govt 1906. And just maybe if I can get enough shooting time with my newest 1895 Winchester in 35 WCF, I may just throw it in the truck as well!!!! I'll be hunting the woods and a few smaller openings more than the open meadow so they should do just fine!!! Founder Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester "Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored." WS
