    OAL Length testing question.

    If I'm shooting Barnes or Cutting Edge, I never get closer than .050", finding that shorter is usually better with the monos. If using Accubonds, another favorite, I start at .010". I never get closer to the lands for hunting.

    Barns TSX performance.

    Argentina. I can't remember if it was 7828 SSC or Big Game, but it was a healthy dose of powder and a 25" barrel.

    Barns TSX performance.

    My GF took a nice water buffalo with my 9.3x62 and a 286 grain Barnes at about 2500 fps. It performed perfectly and was found under the hide on the far side of the animal.

    All around rifle for female hunter

    As others have said, it is all about fit, followed by confidence. The 7mm-08 is a great caliber for almost anything you'll ever encounter, minus the big bears and other dangerous game. The Weatherby Camilla sure fits a lot of people well.

    First Elk hunt... it was an adventure.

    It's easy to second guess from here, the OP is doing it himself. I would have gone back, but, there's a lot that goes into that decision that isn't in play after the fact. Most telling for me is usually the sound of the impact, rather than the visual indication. Of course that can be...

    Montana Outfitters

    If you are interested in a ride in tent camp, Sun Canyon Lodge does a nice job. They hunt the southern end of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. I've been going there for years and am quite satisfied.
