[QUOTE="Shanerazzy, post: 2026315, member: 114223"] I've been hunting elk with a 300 Weatherby mag for 12 years. The longest shot I've killed an elk is 600 yards. I've shot further than 800 but haven't practiced much at that range and shouldn't have taken the shot. I know the rifle is capable. I shoot 185gr vld hunters with that rifle. I bought a Browning x bolt hells canyon long range in 30 Nosler this year and loaded 210gr vld hunters. I killed my bull at a whopping 75 yards. The hole on the entry side was 30 cal but hit a rib and the hole in the other side was close to a football. The last elk I shot with my 300 wby at that range the elk ran away and I wasn't able to recover it. I was shooting 180 gr nosler partition Spitzer. Wont use that bullet any more. I think the 300 win mag will do what you ask it to if you load it right. [/QUOTE]
