2. BobinNH hooked me up with what I needed for my first one and it was great. Accurate, made easy speed and piled up elk for me.

3. I make it with 300 Win brass. Great brass makes for less horseschidt to do. I can always get 300 Win brass in some form or fashion so it’s reasonable to not have to chase boutique brass to get excellent quality.

4. It makes an easy 3050 with 175/180 grain Bullets of decent BC and doesn’t belt me hard like a 300 Mag would have to In order to match it. So I can run a lighter rifle that is easier to pack.


And I hope your recovery is going well brother.
