Congrats on a buck and a very nice rifle. I took my Ruger no. 3 in 30-40 out for elk with 175 grs Berger VLD at 2600 fps. One of my Krags did get a day on mulies with 210 grs Lyman 311284 at 1750, but, alas, no joy. With the Lyman 21 pattern sight on my Winchester 1895, I hope to get out with it next year and will be working off your 180/4350 load. Thank you.
When I lived in NV, if you camped out at a water source - pond, creek, seep or whatever, the game wardens were going to make your life hell.
