[QUOTE="jawsconst, post: 435150, member: 27651"] I have hunted with the old .300 Win Mag for the last twenty years. Like any .30 cal it has a wide range of bullet weight and styles to pick from. Ammo is easy to come by, unlike some of the "newer varients" of the .300 magnums. Good shot placement on deer with a 150 to 160 gr bullet will not destroy too much of the animal. On the other hand it will easily take down any other North American game with a possible exception of the "big bears". I have killed over 10 moose with the farthest being 830 yrds out. Just shot a elk this week with a handloaded 190 vld Berger combo at 643 yrds- one shot clean. Lots of good calibers out there. Just so happens I have had very good luck with the .300 Win Mag.
