Might mention here that a local guy I am acquainted with, a little younger than I am, sort of semi-geezerish, has been using the same Remington 722 .300 Savage as his big game rifle since he was in high school. The quarry includes everything from antelope to plenty of elk. He handloads, but only because factory ammo is hard to find, not get another 100 fps or use a magic bullet.
Believe he would be puzzled by this thread, but he ain't a Campfire kind of guy.
