[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1108609, member: 1656"] I did not say it would not kill them. I said it was overkill. Unless you feel you NEED 300WM power to kill a deer within 400 yards, I doubt we really have any disagreement. Given the 400 yard requirement, a 243 will do antelope to deer just fine, as will dozens of chamberings with far less recoil than the big 300. Now go to bigger game or longer ranges, and the 300WM shines. I own one and love it. But if I know I'm not shooting elk or know I'm not shooting long range, I've got smaller options that cause less meat and shoulder damage. :) [/QUOTE]
