[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2660735, member: 124360"] Same here with a .270 win and 130s, its been a killing machine. I do hear disparaging remarks about that round, and I do think there's a bit of merit in them, but obviuously as you pointed out it has as much to do with the guy behind the gun as the gun itself. I am after quality meat, not just a kill, so only ever take super solid shots within my capabilities. So all that said, I'll be more comfortable taking longer shots with a little more horsepower and a good bullet since along with the distance comes a little more uncertainty- so if I smack the thick part of the shoulder quartering to there's less worry about getting through to the light switch. Nothing wrong with being over gunned. I'm thinking 300 prc since I've seen plenty of quality brass available. I like the big 30s- had a 300 mag for a short time and it really was a wonderful shooting gun and not nearly as bad of recoil as I expected for a mountain rifle. [/QUOTE]
