Too damn windy to set up the chrono. It would have surely blown over, but I'm hoping right around 2,470 fps with the 52gr. charge... We'll see the next time out, I hope....

Nosler partitions @ 2500 fps. So far I have not shot any game with this rifle. I think it will work. It's the top rifle.

Think there is a change in the line up now.... 165 gr Partitions should do the trick Nothing wrong with change. I often switch rifles out. 1 for every day of the hunt... My line up may look something like this: Day 1: 7 3/4 pound 338 win mag. 5 round capacity, custom pre 64 model 70... Day 2: New to me Remington 760 30-06 running 200gr. partitions: Day 3: Pre 64 model 70 270 fwt running 150gr. partitions: Day 4: Pre 64 model 70 30-06 fwt Day 5: Pre 64 model 70 375 H&H in coyote bomber swirly Just sold my 9.3x62mm elk sledge hammer, so that one won't be going. Good luck with your elk hunting guys. Hope you all get what you are after... Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

BSA, It would be way cool if you hammered an elk with that ole pump gun. Besides you should give Remingtons a try, they ain't all bad.

Course, if I can find some 250 grain pills for the 358 Norma, and get a load fixed up, it'd be damned tough to leave it at home!
