[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 218255, member: 2693"] I will assume you either meant the 300 WIN mag or the 300 Remington ULTRA mag, or the 300 Remington SHORT ACTION ULTRA mag. All are fine calibers. I have or have shot all as well as the 270, 30.06, and 7mm Rem mag. Personally I've been thinking of my first bou hunt as well and I would either take the 7mm mag or my 300 RUM and I'll tell you why. WIND. Since I've never hunted them, I have watched a few videos and have talked with friends that have killed them. In each case except for 2-3, WIND was a huge factor. So, I want as much bullet as I can get. It is a no brainer that a 270 and 130 gr bullet will kill a bou but I want as little wind drift as possible. So, my choices when I go will be either my 7mm Rem Mag/168 VLD or 160 AB or Scirocco(24" Shilen #4) or my 300 RUM/200 AB or 180 AB, Scirocco or 210 VLD (28" Shilen #4). There's my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
