[QUOTE="shooter7, post: 1173503, member: 39303"] I hit a cow at 297 yards 3 times with a 7mm mag rocking a Berger 168 classic hunter. All three shots were behind the shoulder and in front of the diaphragm. There was nothing left besides a small chunk of lung the size of a golf ball when i opened her up. After that I decided I wanted something bigger. A 300wm with 230s is about my upper limit on recoil so that's what I shoot. That being said my former employer used a 260 with Berger vlds to take 5 or 6 elk, all inside of 300 yards. I believe the furthest shot was just shy of 270yds. I just can't bring myself to go with anything smaller than the good ol win mag. These are just my opinions based on my own experiences and observations. [/QUOTE]
