    Same setup for whitetail

    I bowhunt a lot for whitetail in Virginia. I got the idea to take my bow out to wyoming for the first couple of days of rifle season in October and then use the rifle if it doesnt work out for me.

    Elk Rifle

    I get what you’re saying about accuracy, but when the time comes there’s gonna be lots of factors that I plan on happening. I’d like a bullet that will still easily kill an elk when the shot isn’t perfect. That’s a big reason I chose the 300.

    Elk Rifle

    Never hand loaded in my life and have never been one to worry much about bullet weight/type either. I’m new to out west and have always hunted east coast whitetails.

    I picked up a box of federal 180gr trophy copper since that’s what was available and I’m itching to try it out. Has anyone tried these with good results? I plan to keep shots within 500 yards.

    Your Oldest Animal

    A 7 year old snow goose is my oldest, or possibly a buck I killed a couple of years ago. Has bases not much smaller than coke cans. The taxidermist threw the jawbone away after I told him to keep it :rolleyes:
