    .308 Secret Sauce??? (Loading Question)

    Thanks Coues Sniper, Yes I have great groups with the A-Max Bullets however last season my son shot his bull elk with it. He dropped the elk in its tracks, he was flopping around for a couple of minutes so we got closer to put another round in him and he just got his footing and took off. Very Little blood (4 drops) and to make a long story short we could never find him. I feel if we had a better bullet like a Berger or ELD-X the initial devastation would have been greater and we would have never lost that bull. I have shot many Coues Deer with the A-max with no problems but an Elk is a lot bigger. I just never want to have that happen again...That sounds like a shot placement issue, not a bullet issue. Yes I agree maybe 2 or 3 inches lower and we would have never had that problem. It was my sons first big game hunt at 12 yrs old, He probably caught him in the back strap and stunned him for a while. However there are better hunting rounds than the A-Max and every little bit counts. All he needed was 2 extra seconds... dang, that's a bummer! Sorry to hear that for your boy. Did your son dust himself off and get back in the game?

    March Madness

    I agree. Man they can get up and down the floor. That joshua Jackson kid is the best player I've seen in the tournament, at least his game yesterday was.

    4B Roll Call

    In 2014, when I drew my archery tag, I decided to check when I got home from work. I dont recall the exact time, but it was after 4am and before 5, and the charge was there. Big mistake. Sleep did not come easily!

    Wife is looking for a site, preferably one away from the party/drinking sites. I don't know if they have different sizes, but the plan is to take our 35' toy hauler up.
