    Tell Me About the 300 WBY

    In my book the 300 wby is the best elk gun around. I re-barreled, re-stocked and custom muzzled braked my 89 model (2012). The brake made shooting it pleasant. Accurate as ever 1/2 moa.

    Nosler accubond performance

    Two things I don’t like in this thread 1. Heads shots are not for sportsmen,to easy to miss or just wound the animal. Last year I saw a cow elk with her lower hanging from a missed head shot. 2. Used to be a fan of Nosler ammo until while hunting on a ranch in Northern Colorado. The outfitter...

    Model 70 magazine limitations

    Shoulder shots

    Bet you chase and loose animals with liver shots. Shoot a bull elk in the liver and he can run 2 miles before dying, probably lost animal.

    Caliber for medium range Elk

    I would that 90+ percent of hunters can’t hit an elk at 600 yards, but if you are going to try, be a sportsman gets caliber that will kill at that distance. 300 am or my preference 300 wby. You won’t like the recoil of these bullets so put a good brake on your gun.
