Thanks, guys. cbennett, I used a .308 BLR for years and also had BLRs in 7-08, .300WSM, and .358. I like this Henry as well as any of them, I am hoping to find a good 150-grain load that has suitable terminal results. As the hunt I am preparing for is an early season wilderness elk hunt I will likely use a Nosler or a Barnes or even a bullet from one of the boutique bullet makers like Lehigh Defense or Hammer. I have some Sierra Game Changers and may give them another try. I began testing this rifle with a smaller Leupold because I liked the aesthetics, but that was a waste of time as my aging eyes need more magnification.
