Got a nice cow on an Oregon damage tag yesterday. 330 yards, custom 1952 Model 70 .338 Winchester, lovingly handloaded 210 Partition. Bang flop with an extra for insurance. Eat right up to the bullet hole, just as Elmer said...

Ya, great caliber too. 👍 Nice work

Most excellent! I can almost taste the backstraps now and what an outstanding rifle.

I like the walking staff too! Well done. The walking stick is covering the quarter size exit hole. The heart was mush.

I use my homemade shooting sticks as walking/ support sticks. Very helpful with loose knees. That stick looks dandy for the task.

Congratulations neighbor! I just knocked another one down last week myself.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Rifle looks too purity to hunt with. Need to drag it through the brush a bit.

Congrats....nice cow. Great that Elmer crossed your mind. Fantastic cartridge. Lots of valuable meat, given crazy prices these days. Got a nice cow on an Oregon damage tag yesterday. 330 yards, custom 1952 Model 70 .338 Winchester, lovingly handloaded 210 Partition. Bang flop with an extra for insurance.
