That's awesome! I had a little bit of luck and drew a Moose tag in 111. What unit are you headed to?

Congrats! I drew 3 16. Its down along Yellowstone. Some pretty rough stuff! I wish I knew something about moose up that way but I dont. I hate to say it but I drew mt moose last year too but the unit I drew was kind of a dud. I had 401. Killed a 32 bull and the biologist said it was as big as hes ever heard of in there. I gusss theres only 15 moose in there. The 100 units have way more moose in them and you should have a good hunt!

Error on the side of way too much gun...they are tough critters. I shot mine with the guides 375 in the shoulder( I wanted to use my bow) and it still went about 100 yards.

In Ak they recommended 30 cal or bigger.

If I recall correctly, a buddy of mine put 2 or 3 in his with a (I believe) 300 win mag.

Just a little update. I called proof research a couple days ago to see if they happened to have any rifles that were pre built and ready to go. He said hed look around. Got a call back yesterday and they have a demo 28 nosler with Stiller action and 26 barrel plus brake (exactly what I would have ordered anyhow!) for a screaming good deal. Weighs 6pounds 4 ounces. Should be a mean machine for goats and hopefully in the future a sheep hunt or two. Just ordered dies and some 26 Nosler Brass (per Caseys suggestion on another thread). Im gonna top it with a Marching 2.5-25 that I ordered for a different rifle thats still at the smith. Should make for about as light a rifle as a guy can get and still be able to stretch it to 1000 yards if needed. Anyone know where I can get some 195 Bergers?

If you can swing it order a 1000 and you should be good for the barrel or close at least.

I wanna make sure they shoot good first. Ordered 200 in case they shoot great and then I cant find them again. Figured I could sell them if the rifle doesnt like them. Picked up some 180 VLDs, 175 LR accubonds, and 168 LRTTSX. Also found 7 boxes of loaded ammo at a little gun shop nearby. $60 for 20. They are loaded with 168gr nosler target bullets but I think Ill either shoot them all or pull them just for the brass. Cant find any 28 nosler anywhere so I figured this is as good as I can get and cheaper then buying brass.

Fyi, the 175 LRABs are garbage.
