No experience on elk 😔, or bigger game, but I shot a whitetail with a 180 AB at 75 yards just below the white fur patch on the neck and got the bullet where the hind quarter met the backstrap, traveled 3’ through the deer & weighed 163grs, pretty good in my book. Mine chrono at 3165ish.
I have no experince with the Scirroco’s, Just wondering why the switch? I too run 7828 with 180 Accu-bonds and they shoot about 1/2 moa and are killing machines.
I have these for when the cold gets colder. Flip over with a zipper pocket for a handwarmer, it’s amazing how much heat them babies hold in from that little handwarmer. Oh they’re gore-tex too.
Came home from Wyoming with achilles tendinitis pretty bad, with the misc miles around camp gathering wood etc and the hunting miles, had almost 70 miles on the feet in 6 days...just gunna chill some this week, then back after it.
Looks handy! While my woodstove had the tent so hot I slept in underwear most nights, the lack of dealing with wood & lugging a 100lb stove may be a welcomed change.
Thanks everyone! Been out of service all week but had this log going in my phone notes so here goes.
