03/A3’s at $35 apiece. Still have one, but sold a couple. I could have bought a few cases, but I was making $4.10 an hour with a house payment with a new born.

T-Rex with a 105. Got pretty good with one, don’t think I’d miss

180 gr. Winchester factory ammo. I’ve tried several different reload combinations, but nothing has out performed the factory load. My Winchester 300 wsm has been my take it out and put meat on the table rifle for several years now.

While terminal energy isn’t the only concern we should have in mind, it is definitely a very important one. A friend of mine tried to finish off a cow elk with a point blank shot from a 357 mag to her neck and the bullet didn’t get past the thick neck hair. I shoot a large caliber with heavy...

I have a .325 wsm as well as a 300wsm. My biggest problem is getting 200 or 225 grain bullets for the .325. If I want to shoot a 180 grain my 300wsm does a wonderful job and has dispatched moose, elk, deer and antelope over the years. The reason I purchased the .325 was I got it real cheap from...

Ruger super red hawk 454 Casull with 300 grain buffalo ammo. At 30 yards a deer is a bang flop. I love mine and it has held up well after several hundred rounds down the tube.

Crkcrk, I’m glad we don’t grow elk here in Wyoming as big as they do in Missouri!! If a 300 WM is a bit lite then my 300 WSM must be a pea shooter. I should get some kind of award for the elk I’ve taken with it and some at long range.

Knifes of Alaska all day long. I’ve field dressed and quartered entire elk with the camp knife and capeing knife combo. They hold an edge and the touch of a steel will bring it back if lost.

I remember the good old days too. Guns in trucks in the parking lot and not being afraid to go to school. I don’t remember a school shooting though. Now days kids in city’s are afraid to go to school because shootings have become common. I for one don’t find fault with officials that are...

I’ve taken yote’s with a 22LR, 222 REM, 22/250 and 17 hornet. Distance and shot placement are of paramount importance. If I could only choose one it would be the 22/250 in a tack driving bolt gun.

In contrast to my fellow Wyomingite Wyo300rum I’ve found that keeping them in a bunch is the best way to keep them warm.

I reached my limit with an 8 pound 350 Norma mag and a double barreled Churchill in 10gauge. Hurts thinking about it.

No. I don’t have a problem with recoil, but I do have a problem with the noise and blast of gas that a hunting partner can get from one up to 50 feet a way.

Twenty years ago my wife bought me a Winchester model 70 for Christmas that is chambered in 300wsm. I have taken Moose, Elk, Deer, Antelope and even a Jack rabbit at 400 yards ( not a pretty sight). The effectiveness of this rifle with a Zeiss scope and Winchester 180 gr. factory loads have...

I’ve found that penetration is a little iffy. I’m going to try larger shot next time. That is if and when I get my ban lifted.
