[QUOTE="Wraith Hunter, post: 1617021, member: 107141"] Cariboo, I like your reply. I personally use a .300 Weatherby Mag with a 180 grain bullet. However, I am not recoil sensitive and I have many hours of trigger time with the Weatherby. I find the .300 Weatherby mag has significantly higher hydrostatic shock pressure than the 30-06 and both my wife and I have harvested Deer and Elk at distances beyond 700 yards. At those distances it becomes difficult for me to hit heart or lungs precisely so I find the added hydrostatic shock pressure very valuable. I am very careful when shooting at distance and make darn sure I will hit what I am aiming at. During the firing event I, or my favorite hunting partner, my wife, watch the animal for impact reaction. If none is noticed I would not fire again as something in range or windage is incorrect. If no reaction is observed we would continue to observe the animal as extreme distance mutes the reaction. We both have noticed the .300 Wby Mag performs well out to 800 yards where the 30-06 does not. Again I like your comments [/QUOTE]
