Yeah, maybe everyone has gotten older and wiser. Bullets have improved a lot since the 1970’s and 1980’s though. I guess... but still something about the authority of .358+ bullets. Chris and the boys leased a big farm in Lancaster or Richmond county... but it is shotgun only... So Chris bought a smokeless muzzleloader for the early season. 1,000 yard gun. Something like 105 grains of H-4895 (not sure) under a 300 grain 45 cal bullet. Crazy "work around". 3,000+ FPS.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Toss up between the 260 and 708 for our youth opener, ended up grabbing the 260 ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/wSRZKXm.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/aZ9FalD.png)

With the elk tags filled, I went down last night to choose the next hunting rifle up.
Still have a WY antelope tag, and our deer opener is Nov 12. Plan is to use a Kimber Montana 8400 in 270 Win. for the rest of the season.
Have not decided on the load yet. 100gr AB at 3325fps, or 130gr BT at 3045.
Topped with Leupold VX5 2-10.
Will try to sneak down to the range right after the elk is processed, wrapped and in the freezer.

Too busy this year to go for deer.
If I did. Tc venture In 270 with 140 game changers Or 130 ttsx. Both over Hunter .
Couple years ago I did take the tikka 6.5 CM with 130 game changers over big game.
But elk season coming up.
Normally Tikka 06 with 168ttsx. This year it will be 3rd in line. Dads ruger m 77 with 180 game kings will be My main carry.
But opening morning I will have my boy with me carrying his kimber hunter 6.5 with reduced load shooting 130 game Changers (TGK)

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

After being married to a Tikka 7mm-08 long enough, it's time to 'spice' up my deer hunting life while maintaining a healthy relationship with my hunting rifle. Instead of the same ol' 7mm 120 gr ballistic tip doing all the hard work and receiving all the glory, I'm going with a 150 gr scenar and BG powder. Even changed scopes to a Burris FF IV 3-12x42. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/bA28FmLl.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/6HYFbF7l.jpg)
