[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1975642, member: 19988"] Yes sir I agree. I believe a lot of people buy in to the hype that a 300 WM is need. I would thank that most shots buy an average hunter is taken within 200 yards, maybe even a 100 yards. When I used to guide, the boss man would all ways tell use no one alloyed to shoot past 200 yards. (( Have to follow the rules )) I never new what type of person I was gonna take out that day. Some people are very interesting. Would take them to the range and get a feel for them and to see how they shoot. They would go on and tell me how their 300 WM can shoot a deer at a mile. I would tell them well sir/mam, you just shot a 3 shot 3.5” to 4” group at 100 yards so I thank we will keep you at the 100 yards mark. I would show them pictures on where to shoot the deer so there would be no misunderstanding. Some shot were good, But sadly most were not. When they would get a good shoulder or heart/lung shot it would destroy so much meet then the hunter would get mad at me because I told him/her where to shoot. I had one hunter shoot a 12 point buck in the face. His excuse was it hurts when he pulls the trigger. He was no longer allowed on the Hunting Lease. [/QUOTE]
