This was a rifle I bought in October for deer,blackbear and elk.I got tired of shooting the old 06 in a light encore so started researching a mild shooting cartridge with good accuracy.Again in a ruger 77 stainless,cause it rains a bit on the olympic peninsula. Mines shoots right at moa with factory remington ammo.Next year Im loading some 100gr nosler partitions for deer and 140 n.p. for elk.Let me hear from you if youve hunted with this cartridge and your results with elk or moose sized game.
