.300WSM
T-3 lite stainless, Leupold VXIII 4.5×14.5x50LR with B&C retical and side focus, Warn rings, Harris bipod, limbsaver pad. Carry in the field with Kifaru gunbearer.
So far blessed with 3 WA state elk: cow in '08 (426 yards), bull in '09 (178 yards) and spike in '10 (436 yards) (can read about it and see pics in hunting/elk section of this forum). Used Federal Vital Shock with 180 accubonds on those. Not too pleased with accuracy. Just this week started experimenting with handloads (my brother is a long range guru and is helping me) using 210 berger VLD's & 66 grains of H4831sc set to OAL of 2.88″. Immediately saw vast improvement in accuracy/repeatability. Last night he shot 1.5″ 3-shot group at 205 yards and a 1&1/16th inch 3-shot group at 205 yards.
Would like: cheek pad of some sort. Where can I buy or get help with making something? Turrets for MOA adjustments! That is about it.
Looking forward to locating another spike this fall.
Jason
