Washington elk hunting I use a 300 Wthrby Mag/180 gr Nosler Partition and in New Mexico a 340 Wthrby Mag/210gr Nosler Partition.

The New Mexico hunting often offers much longer shots consistantly out to 300-500 yards.  While the 300 is plenty of gun for either we needed an excuse to get another gun.

Here's last years NM 6X5

That's definately a thumper load, Thumper! :chuckle:  You using the newer "tipped" Bear Claws?  If so, I'd be curious as to your likings of them comarpared to the old Bear Claws with the "blunt" lead tip.  I loved the closer randed capabilities of that bullet, but struggled everytime shooting them long range.
