I have been considering that exact thing. I have 2 338 rums and currently searching for a 7 rum or 300 rum in left hand to build the exact same thing. Not sure I will ever get to Africa but I’ll have the gun built before then.
I don’t see an age difference of meat quality in deer , being whitetail or mule deer. So cut right away. Elk if I can hang them, 11 days seems to be the best I have came across.
No shoulder or leg bone , just 1 rib. The deer was on the move quartering towards me when bullet impacte. I since have harvested 3 more deer with this combo and yet to have similar result.
200 yard mule deer buck. 6.5-300 weatherby 140 grain nosler accubond at 3250 fps. This is the entrance. Heart destroyed,lungs were soup and bullet never did exit nor did I find any fragment. Deer traveled 40 yards and succumbed.
This is a group from my 300 weatherby with 200 grain nosler partitions moving 3040 fps. I feel conf that this can handle anything in North America , but my back up is a 338 rum shooting 225 accubond at 3100 fps.
