[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1779276, member: 85987"] I hunted New England and eastern Canada with a 300wm and 300wby for years. I use an 18" 06 for all of my bad weather or tracking work now. For sitting up I went to 270 in about 93 and I love the low recoil lightweight rifles I've used in this cartridge. 300wby and PRC are the same in terms of performance. The wby I ran 200 hot cor and partitions. Deer close ran 100-200yds unless I took out the shouders then I lost most of the meat. I tried 165's at reduced velocities of about 3000fps. 2 shed the jacket and the partition wouldn't shoot slow @ 3250-3300 it was a bomb. With a Hammer or Barnes it would be much better for close work. [/QUOTE]
