WvZ, it's nice to have you here. FYI, one of your articles and one of Ross Seyfried's were the catalysts to me spending about two decades with the 340 Wby as my "elk cartridge". About thirteen elk, bear, and a caribou later I've moved on but came to love the cartridge and it's effectiveness.

Dutch heritage?
