Still wound-up about one of my good buddies being THE GUY to win the NRA Elk Hunt at the Whittington Center this year. tu2 BOOM

HUGE MASSIVE GIANT TROPHY ELK have to be kicked outta the way just to walk around there. Without putting any pressure on him at all, I told him that he will probably be the new undisputed WORLD RECORD HOLDER after this Hunt.

Nearly drifted off the thread topic. I expect the HUGE MASSIVE GIANT TROPHY ELK and probable WORLD RECORD - to have a l-o-n-g throat!!! shocker

He will be using a Factory Spec throated S&S 338WinMag M700 that shoots amazingly accurate.

Hey R, He is down to " 1 " 270Win. Swapped off the customized one he had built for his daughters. Told me he got another 257Rob Short Action M700 Mountain Rifle for them, just like the one he has.

When I first met him he was shooting all kinds of rag Mousers, etc., But I got him straightened out. Big Grin tu2

All use standard Factory Spec throats and shoot great.

Did I mention he WON the NRA Elk Hunt at the Whittington Center this year??? rotflmo

I "might" be able to get him to send you an autographed flick of him with the next WORLD RECORD Elk. I just wonder how many folks it will take to hold that HUGE Rack up??? Big Grin

jsl3170,
I had a 338/06 built on an old ruger action with a new Douglas barrel back in 1992. I set it up with a 225 gr Hornady bullet at the base of the case neck. Since then I've killed 10 of the large african antelope, two elk, a moose several mule deer and at least 5 reindeer. I killed all these animals with 200-210gr bullets.
I killed most of the bigger animals with the old 200gr Barnes X bullet and the moose with a 210gr nosler. I never felt the need to shoot or use the 225gr or the 250gr bullets. I'll have to use the new 210gr Barnes TS as they no longer make the 200gr bullet. I got outstanding results with these bullets at 2700- 2820 fps. No real need for that big 250gr bullet in a 06 case.
