    cartridge of choice.

    I finished my deer season this year with the 270 with the sst. Both me and my brother in law used the 270 with the sst. worked great at 40 yards and 300 yards but i for next season im switching to the nosler partition for elk.

    I think i am just going to stick with the 270 for now unless i am in some nasty bear country then i think the 338 will go.

    I like the 270 its the most accurate factory rifle I have ever bought. Its a ruger american with a nikon on top. With hornady superformace 140 sst ammo its one hole groups at 100 yards. Last year I took 7 deer with this and it worked great. Has anybody had experience with the sst on elk?

    I can shoot the 270 and 338 ok. I can get 3/4 inch groups with both. My 300 has never really been a shooter. I love how light the 270 is but im afraid of the lack of power for elk or at least i was told that.

    So there is a road that goes to red knob mountain that comes off the madison and goes thru Turners land. Its called Cherry creek rd. Tt shows it on my hunt chip and on my FS travel map. Has anybody gone on this road? Is it blocked like most of the roads that go onto Turners land? I have seen...

    I hear you on that. I have been trying to get farther back in but by the time you do there is somebody on a four wheeler or snow machine on the trail and some times off the trail. Is flathead pass any better for getting away from people?
