[QUOTE="Deerhunter47, post: 1793166, member: 112560"] Caracal; I have been shooting this old timer since about 1965. Originally used it for mule deer in Colo. caribou in Alaska. Recently I started working with the Hornady 200 gr. ELD-X. Going to use RL-22, 65 to 67 grs, where I find a load that will group 1/2” MOA. Velocity should be around 2850/2900 FPS. I not a regular longrange shooter, so like to take my shot(s) at less than 300 yds. I believe that the old 300 H&H lose it’s following because most hunters by the early 70’s or 80’s wanted more velocity and flatter trajectory. Just a personal opinion, but far what I have seen, velocity/energy destroys too much meat. That said, if a 6 x 6 bull was broadside at 800 yds, I may take the shot. I know this “oldie” can do the job. Just returned from range today, touched off 26 rounds (from bench), no sore shoulder! Try that with another 300 Mag. hunting rifle. Winchester Per ‘64 M-70, 26” barrel, 1x10 twist. Manuf. 1957. [/QUOTE]
