Last season 2 hunters drove out from Illinois to wack Idaho cow elk with the rifle they shared. Their problems was not with their rifle.

Rather than have them rezero and learn new dope, one of the guys gave 'em a familiarization run with his custom 6.5-300 WM shooting 143 gr. ELDX handloads. Then went out with them to get it done.

Now that is a really nice guy. Afterwards they started the drive back home with 2 elk in the coolers.

If that had been me, I'd given the rifle owner 1/2 an elk....


It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
