Mark Hampton's Shiras Moose

Our friend Mark Hampton has been busy making more memories lately. I'll let him fill us in on the details of his successful Shiras moose hunt!


Congratulations Mark!

Thanks for posting Darrell! I took this Shiras moose in Utah with Freedom Arms single-shot in 338 Fed. Factory Federal ammo with Nosler's 180 gr. AB -- one shot from 50 yards. Special thanks to Chris Rhodes of Bayside Custom Gunworks and Cody Weiser. Chris installed the muzzle brake and it helped considerably. I used Cody's bags for a rest and his new ammo wrist band is great. Both of these men provide useful products for us handgun hunters.

Very nice!

Nice bull!

Congratulations Mark! You've done REALLY well as usual -- something we have all come to expect! Nicely done!

Nice moose.

Congrats again, Mark!

Congrats Mark! one of my dream hunts!

Congratulations on a nice moose!

Out of curiosity, where did you hit him and how much penetration did you get with the 180 grain AB?

Jwp475, Hit him in shoulder -- bullet lodged in offside shoulder close to skin.

Very nice. Mr. Hampton is the one who got me started in handgun hunting and this is why.

That's good penetration with a 180 grainier in my humble opinion.


Thanks for the reply
