[QUOTE="X-man, post: 803732, member: 8416"] Good discussion! I am going to side with Mudrunner in that the 300Win properly placed with a properly selected bullet will get the job out to 1000 yards. In order to kill something you must first be able to hit it and few choices make this easier than the 300Win. The lighter the rifle the truer this becomes. That said if I build a purpose built rifle that only goes too your hide and wait for a super long shot on game? If I shoot mainly deer and some elk the answer is still 300Win. If you shoot moose and other large critters why not have a big 338? Yobucks comment of the bag of clubs is perfect. Some of you guys live in wide open spaces and hunt deer...your club should be a 7stw or 300mag with long bullets...any bullet construction will do. My choices are a lot more complicated. I choose my rifles and bullets based upon the game, location, shot distances, and terrain to be covered. A 16 pound 338Lapua is too tiring and too slow for tramping thru the woods all day while looking for whitetail....So I choose another club! [/QUOTE]
