When the tags were filled we played with the rifles for a few hours under near perfect conditions. Doug put on a clinic with his GAP .338LM. I was most impressed with a 5 shot group at 710 meters that went into a 3" circle. 300gr scenars are working well in that rifle!

Re: Mule Deer in MT
You guys did real well...nice deer and good shooting. Looks like a very good time!
Yeah, I've heard about that guide fella, gotta watch him, he does crazy things. Shoots large game animals, crosses large bodies of water at night in very windy conditions with an overloaded boat. He's quite a character.

Re: Mule Deer in MT
Hey since this is my post I will hijack it and ask you guys some advice. I was in
TX hunting (4500 elevation 90 degrees) and verified several points on my chart...had to tweak the BC and velosity on Exbal to match actual point of impact. On Exbal I am inputing temp and elevation (not checking use std pressure)...so I assumed it was going to be spot on when I went to MT ...Then when Pat and I went rock hunting some of the longer shots were a few clicks too high.
What's up? The software should correct for elevation and temp...why was I off?

Did you have the same humidity as your Texas range card? I usually factor in 40-50% humidity out here..

Re: Mule Deer in MT
Looks like you guys had an awesome hunt Doug, I hope you don't mind but I drooled on your horns at the taxidermist shop. I heard from a good source that your .338LM is a tack driver

Hi Owen
That was the best move I ever made in building that rifle...now I have the infectionn and have 3 more builds in the works.
It was a good hunt but I have to say we missed seeing you. Just felt weird you were not there. Hope to cross paths again someday.

Re: Mule Deer in MT
Thanks guys...It was a great hunt with good friends. gong to try er again next year if we can. Honestly we did not measure the width of my buck...he was not wide .....it was an old deer and we took him because of that and his unique forks, and good mass. We rough scored him at 177.
