Hi guys, its been awhile since I posted here but since I blame you all for my new rifle I should let you know how it went Elk hunting
First off, the load. Simple and what was recommended here. Federal Blue Box 270gr soft point.
The Elk- roughly a 425lb spike bull
The result obviously was meat in the freezer.
My impressions? Well, Ive read extensively about the 375, I accepted the advice and replies to my questions and I am much more impressed by this rifle than I ever intended to be.
Ive never seen with a life time of big game hunting all over the US and parts of Europe in the 80's, bones protruding from an exit wound. Ive seen game drop from spine shots of course but never so completely dead on impact as I saw the 2 elk I witnessed shot with a 375 this year.
Mod 70 Safari Express purchased last spring and Im not looking back. I have developed a true love for this rifle and caliber. I understand completely the opinion of generations before me about the superiority of the cartridge.
