[QUOTE="Brent, post: 4971, member: 99"] Hammer, If I wanted to, I could drop a moose every time just by shooting it in the front shoulders too, but why the hell would I want to waste all that **** meat? If I thought I could do it every single shot, behind the head right in the spine is a no-nonsense aproach that turns the lights out INSTANTLY. I could put one down with a well placed shot in the hip too, but the meat is an issue and so is killing the thing. For the long ranger the double lunger offers the biggest kill zone, leaves the biggest blood trail, especially if the bullet exits, and always kills, period. I'm not against going through a shoulder to get the lung, but to just shoot shoulders to knock them down seems counter productive. I have not shot my 300 Ultra enough to know when the barrel is going to fall off in accuracy. I don't let the barrel heat up in any of them when practicing though. In our weather 1 shot every 2-3 minutes keeps things plenty cool. This action will get a new custom barrel before I find out so... If you can get Remington to sell you an action for 220 bucks I'll be the first in line. More than likely they'll give you one of there tomato stakes for 220 and keep the action. That's about all the barrel and action are worth though, too bad we have to spend 3-500 bucks for a doner when we need one. [/QUOTE]
