Surprised no one caught my error above and it is too late to fix it now. The .257 Roberts and 28 Nosler energy had "fps" rather than "fpe as the unit measure".

The corrected info should read as follows.

The 160g Grand Slam that was used to take the bull at 411 yards was recovered – only the second one I had recovered in over 20 years of using them. Both encountered multiple bones.
7mm RM/160g Grand Slam, 411 yards, 124.5g retained (77.8%).

Here’s my hunting buddy with his wrong-handed 7mm RM, the rifle I use to take the elk. This photo was taken the day before I took the shot.

Here’s the bull, obviously past caring what bullet was used. Not a giant, but he filled the freezer nicely.

While I was quartering the bull, two cows came over the hill behind me and to my left in the photo above. Range was probably 150 yards or so. Passed on taking one even though I had a valid tag - but I suspect another 160 Grand Slam would have done the job in spite of a .387 B.C.



No one caught it because most of us skim over your long drawn out bull shat posts.
