Dear Patagonia:
Kudos on your excellent Ether shell, which you will see pictured (as well as the Capilene worn below out of sight of the camera lens) that I used to help me harvest this beautiful Colorado mule deer buck.
As conservation partners of hunters worldwide, I'm sure you share my pride and satisfaction at contributing to the betterment of the mule deer herd in Colorado, as well as in contributing to the Colorado Division of Wildlife's funding in order that my license fees be used to further promote the balance of nature both hunters, 24hourcampfire.com, and Patagonia espouse.
Great shell, and great Capilene. I WILL continue to use them in my hunting.

I noticed in Dave Scovill's article in Handloader (Vol.251 p.8) that Ruger/Hornady announced the .300 and .338 Ruger Compact Magnums (RCMs). It'll be interesting to see if they announce anything at the Shot Show this weekend.
Still wouldn't be as much fun as you had with 'rolling your own' and being the first one on your block to have a .338-.375 Campfire!!! Nice rifle and nice deer.

Rick....
What does it weigh?
Have you chrono'd your hunting load?
If you were to build it again, what would you change?

So how is your round different from the new Ruger RCM in .338? I have not seen overall dimensions of the new Ruger round but it does seem ballistically similar to your design. Did they possibly hear of your little mission and decide it was a wildcat worthy of thought? That is certainly not unheard of, especially when you incorporated Ken Howell into the creation of the design.
Great pic and nice deer.

Hi Elmer: McMillan stocks can be had in a variety of fill weight. EDGE hunting stocks typically weigh 23 ounces or so, finished. Fiberglass stocks can be filled from standard (32 ounces finished), all the way to solid (X pounds). What I mean in the post is that the stock is a standard weight McMillan hunting stock.

Ennis Ennis: I was at the Hornady and Ruger events yesterday during Media Day, and no big announcement (yet). Got to shoot the .300 RCM in the small Ruger rifle. Also got to shoot a left handed Ruger Mark II in .375 H&H. Nice rifle (but it needs a 1" pad). I'm going to their booths within the next 2 hours. rb
