I used it in a .300 Win Mag...smoking right along. Killed deer, elk, gemsbok, springbok, kudu,zebra, and eland with it. It worked good! This is what I looked like when I was young and studly! Should work even better at .30-06 velocities. You had a hell of a tan in those days, Poobs. Oh, you are on the RIGHT in that photo..... That makes more sense. Poobs hunts such dangerous game, his tracker gets a gun too CT, see that extra rifle at 3 o'clock?

Oh, for a PSA, I couldn't log on yesterday afternoon because I couldn't see. Went back up the mountain early afternoon to clear shooting lanes, was hot and humid and didn't take my safety glasses, bout midway through and big chunk of wood flew up from an ax strike. Got my head turned and lid closed in time to no avail, it poked me right in the eyelid/eyeball then slapped my cheekbone. Watery eyes, stuffed up sinuses, and spitting a lot, Wifey doctored me up good last night, much better today, just a 1/2" cut on my eyelid and bloodshot eyeball. Be careful out there Men!

That was just Karma for being mean to me on the Innaweb.

Actually it almost did. I popped him right where you are supposed to and off he went, for half a mile. But the .300 left a blood trail Stevie Wonder could follow..( indeed we followed it from the High Rack) Heres another from the archives with the 150NPT...first zebra. Damn! I was a handsome Devil!

I've been "salt and pepper" for a good while, and the salt percentage has been on the rise. College age chicks have called me sir for years now. When I shop at the grocery store I keep my eye out for the young forty somethings.

I turned down a very attractive forty something in my late teens MM, I now know what a clustered up mistake that was. I could have learned a lifetime that evening. lol

When I was young, green, and clueless I missed what was in retrospect a pass made by a very good looking divorcee of about forty, and if I'd have understood the situation I'd have never turned her down. Man was I dumb.
