A lot of wisdom and experience in your article Wayne. I especially appreciate that you are not selling anything but seem rather to be motivated by a sincere wish to educate and inspire. It also helps that your experience matches much of mine, I heartily approve!

Excellent article with lots of good info. I like the 90% rule and keep your rifle trained on your target. I learned this the hard way when a whitetail buck dropped to my 280. as I scrambled from the blind he scrambled off never to be seen again. There is IMHO to much practice from the bench and not enough from field positions. Take a 22LR for a walk in the woods or on the target range and practice shooting from various field positions. Just last week I took my Kimber 22 (I like this as it's a bolt action and very similar to a centerfire rifle) and walked my sporting clays range shooting at the missed clay targets.

Wayne van Zwoll, my favorite hunt and gun writer.

I truly enjoy your writing about the .338WM because that's the caliber I use for all my hunting in Alaska, although I am a meat hunter who enjoys the company of friends during he moose season. Yes, it means that more often that what I would like to say we spend more time by the campfire socializing with my friends and family than hunting smile But one of the things I like about your writing is your impartiality about cartridges.
