[QUOTE="DREBS, post: 2659410, member: 61655"] I’m surprised by some of the answers based on the old school preconceptions out there that’s I’ve thought were real such as a 300 win mag will ruin too much meat. Based on the answers I’m guessing this is not an absolute and more of a rule of thumb ? So a 243 85 gr vs a 300 win mag 190 gr on an antelope at 200 yards .. we we’re always told growing up that the 300 win mag was “overkill “ and if it’s for sake of recoil and what’s needed for the job fine.. but I wa sand many others were always lead to believe a 300 win mag is “dumb” on an antelope or deer because you ruin too much meat.. wives tale? I’m willing to accept it I’m coming back into hunting from a 2009 understanding and I know a lot have been dispelled and a lot has changed from the old guard [/QUOTE]
