#1: Looks like a nice rigorous approach to load development.
#2: I think the cow elk and whitetail are in trouble.

I have a cow tag over on Camp Navajo myself but I think I'm going to use a medium bore, either 338-06, 358 Win, or 9.3x62.
That 6.5 WSM looks mighty nice - care to tell us more about it?

Cheers,
Rex
