Bob - enjoyed your write-up but the clucking & dancing chickens here on the CF are getting to you again, you better get out and hunt - soon!
I have two elk tags this year and will be packing a 54 cal Hawkins in 3 weeks and my new (gasp!) 7mm Wby (in a 700)during rifle seaon in October.
Though I backed the 7 Wby load down a ways, that 160 partition leaving at 3100 fps is like a freakin' laser up here at 10,000'. Very impressive!
Good huntin' to you
