I shot a bull outside Maybell CO last year with a Browning A-BOLT II SS in 30-06 with the BOSS. I used Federal premium w/180 grain Nosler partitions. This was aqequate but I felt very undergunned. I passed on a 250 yard shot at a trophy bull, because I felt undergunned. I am leaving on Thursday for an early season Elk hunt in the same management unit and this year I'm bringing my .338 WM. I know that I could kill a bull with an 30-06, but why take a chance on the bull of a lifetime with a questionable cartridge on such big game.

It is far better to dare mighty things, though riddled with failure, than to live in the dull grey of mediocrity.
