[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2957006, member: 126670"] Thank you! I thoroughly enjoy reading about, and watching videos on guns. If I had a reason to go big, then I'd be shopping for a Rigby 600, why mess around, go big or go home, if big is required. The largest game we hunt locally are moose, and if lucky enough to get in on the very limited draw, way north of here is bison. A 1000 lb moose drops like Biden on a staircase when shot with a 30-30, 243, 6mm, etc if the shooter isn't a clueless buffoon, or trying to shoot at 1000 plus yards. It would be extremely unusual to shoot a deer, or moose, past 300 yards here. Its mountain goat, and bison hunts where they are often more than 300 yards, and could be 600 plus. But that is why I purchased a 7 prc, to reach out comfortably to 600, 700, 800 yards. Really it's overkill for a deer or moose, which dies equally as fast from say a 243 bullet. I've been witness to far more kills with a 30-30, 243, and 6mm, than the big guns. But most here don't hunt with cannons, well except for my boss, and he pretty much exclusively uses a 338, anx actually calls a 300 winmag a pee shooter. I love him, best boss ever, but don't agree with him always, and that includes his thoughts on anything less than a 338 is too darn small. Show up to hunt with him carrying a 300wm or 7prc and expect to be teased. [/QUOTE]
