Hey Terry, I haven't talked to you in a dogs age. How are things? Yup,still out chasing those swamp donkeys, I love it. That odd 6 of yours with 180 grains will take down most game out to 400 yards. I even use my .270 at those ranges on moose. I think the young lady might have been a little shy of a 300 MAG. Better to be confident with a smaller gun than shy with a big one.
