[QUOTE="300 Driver, post: 1246207, member: 91257"] What are the opinions out there... I've booked my first trip to AK for next September. Fly-in hunt. I'll be hunting moose in area 20A. I am not comfortable shooting game over about 800yds at this time. I am trying to decide if I will carry a 338 Win Mag or a 300 Win Mag. My 338 shoots 225gr Cutting Edge D62s at 2848fps avg. I have an itch to buy a Browning Xbolt Hells Canyon speed in 300WM. I may need it no matter what rifle I take.:rolleyes: At least one member of my hunting party will be bringing a 300 WM as well. Not sure if having common ammunition is of any actual value. What LR bullet would you guys load in the 300? I have experience with 215 Bergers in my WSM, but I'd hate to see a charging bear with that bullet I think...id hate to be charged by a bear either way. Any additional advice from experienced AK moose hunter is always appreciated too! [/QUOTE]
