So, you went smaller caliber, but not down to .223…

It’s funny to think about, my hunting career is short. Early decisions driven by fuddlore and over compensation for mistakes I didn’t fully understand. Blamed poor boolet performance or poor shot placement on being under-gunned.

Here is my progression with what I consider my primary big game rifle. I did not hunt out west until 2018.

2006 - .270 Win
2007 - .270 Win
2008 - .270 Win
2009 - .270 Win
2010 - .270 Win
2011 - .270 Win
2012 - .270 Win
2013 - .270 Win
2014 - 7mm Rem Mag
2015 - 7mm Rem Mag
2016 - .338 Win Mag
2017 - .308 Win
2018 - .280 Ackley
2019 - .280 Ackley
2020 - .280 Ackley
2021 - .280 Ackley
2022 - .280 Ackley
2023 - .280 Ackley

The .280 AI will be watching closely for a way to get back in the game I’m sure lol
