Why not a 300 wby?

[QUOTE="Ricky C, post: 1593847, member: 109105"] Hey, I’ve had a 300wby for about 30 years, it’s a 700. It has killed everything I’ve ever shot it at, no tracking required, couple moose, numerous caribou, African game, aoudad, whitetail. It’s an MOA rifle with various 180gr bullets, it even shoots the 130gr Barnes well. It likes RL22, but 22 isn’t all that temperature stable. I get some pretty good temp swings in Interior AK. Recently I have been testing some of the new “extreme” series powders. RL26 May be my new go to hunting load powder. I do have a few pounds of 22 to burn up so I’ll keep loading rounds to shoot for it. If I could only have one rifle it would be a very difficult decision, the 300wby or the 7-08. Killed my first moose with the 7-08, before I got the wby. I’d probably have to go with the wby it’s just way more versatile. I’ll be carrying it on a trip to Kodiak island in the fall and if Mr. Brown Bear decides I’m dinner, some 180gr TSX’s at 3100 FPS will convince him I don’t taste very good. [/QUOTE]
