[QUOTE="Tom Wright, post: 2438790, member: 108611"] I swear by the 300 WM for many reasons—good without issues to 500+ yards, bullets 140-200 grains, easy to find world wide. Not a fan of breaks due to noise and blindness caused in last light shots. Have taken animals on three continents with it from steenbok and roe deer to ibex, beer, 300# whitetail and mulies and other African animals up to 1700# eland. I wouldn’t go after moose with a 270/280, and as many animals as have been taken with a 30-06, the arc that bullet travels is NOT conducive to making 400+ yard shots in tough conditions/wind. One responder is right though that big bears require a bigger gun like .338 or .375. [/QUOTE]
