    I still get buck fever
    Runs thru me like an anxious panic when I'm real excited or surprised with my heart rate bolting with it
    Just gotta learn to shoot thru it and enjoy the rush, I hope mine never goes away
    Gets real bad for me on the stalk in with subsonic shots
    If it makes any new hunters feel better Iv been hunting for 30 years

    As long as there's no bad feelings over missing (we have someone running sweep in case of a miss)

    What case is behind the 338?
    It's cool to hear dads taking their kids hunting and that they miss a few shots along the way, brings back good times
    Nothing's better than a story of a hunter that has a journey

    I don't reload and just run factory ammo. Use the federal American eagle 250gr 338 lap mag out of a Hardy built carbon rifle. It's the cheapest ammo I can find and regarded as ' plinking ' rounds... expensive bloody plinking I tell you. That said it seems to be accurate enough. On my first long range shooting attempt on a farm both me and my boy were banging a 600mm square plate at a km with every shot once we sorted out wind drift/ spin drift.
    Nothing to complain about there.
