Gonna start the recap and mix in some pics with my daily notes. Finally had my first shower in 12 days and cleaned up my beard. I feel a steak and a cocktail in my future!!!!
Some views from camp, the trailer at the first camp site. And the horses we used a few of the days. Judd, Roy and George.
I see that you were hunting with your 6.5 PRC. Curious, what ammo was your choice and how much penetration?
I will be using a 6.5 PRC in an upcoming hunt and wondering if it is a large enough caliber.
I love my 6.5 prc and I would be super comfortable with it for anything up to moose. On elk or moose I might keep my shots 400-500 yards max. But, I hate shooting that far anyway. I use the 143 grain eld-x. I shot factory ammo at first and now shoot some stuff from copper creek. I did their load development. My bullets are a bit faster than factory and from my gun hit about 3140 fps. I shot the sheep point on the shoulder at 178 yards and the bullet was a perfect mushroom right under the skin behind the off shoulder. The internal damage was impressive! I don’t think you could ask for more! Just remember, Europeans have been killing moose and red stags with 6.5 calibers for years.
