[QUOTE="jwcrabb, post: 1038860, member: 10128"] Like I said guys, I love the old stuff. I guess that's why when my buddies were using 25-06s, I had a 257 Roberts. When my brother went with a 7mm STW, I went with the 280. We all took many deer side by side, and I never really understood the need for all that extra power. That was until last year... I started hunting in south Texas where the deer are bigger, and the brush is thicker. I learned in that thick brush you may only get one look at a big buck. And when you do, he may be anywhere from 100 -500 yds. I needed a cartridge capable of good power and penetration, especially if the angle was not perfect. Those big deer don't hang around long and you have to take him when you can. I knew the 300 Winchester magnum would handle that, because I witnessed it first hand. So that is what lead me to the 300 H&H. I'm a pure reloader, so I picked an old cartridge that with modern powders would be very close to the 300 Winchester. Seems like win-win to me. Well, that's my weird logic. Thanks for all the replies. [/QUOTE]
