Thanks all.

Was able to fire about 20 rounds from the 300 RUM today to check zero and make sure my mildots are still calculated correctly. Was able to get out to 409 yards today. Fired about 8 or 10 rounds into a 4" bull at that range, so my first and second mil are still good. Not expecting anything too long range, but my rig is ready and so am I, if I have to.

Last elk I shot with this gun was with 168gr A-Max's, but am now loaded up with 200gr Accubounds. As with that hunt, I was tuned for a tad over 700 and killed my bull at 30 yards! I hope I'm as lucky again, this go around. Just packing up here the next few days and I'll be ready. I'm sure I'll be worthless at work this week, just chomping at the bit to get out there.
