[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 233521, member: 9736"] I have a 300 win mag that I hunt out west with. Our shots are normally fairly long from 200 to 400 yards. I hunt in Wisconsin every year for deer and bring my 300 along. I shoot 180 gr. accubonds at 3080 fps. The average shot back there is under 100 yards. I shoot the behind the shoulder through the lungs shot. They usually run 50 yards or so. The biggest thing is placement. If you miss the lungs and hit the front shoulder plan on some serious hamburger damage. If you miss all bones except a rib or two the damage is not bad. We shot two antelope this year, one with the 300 and one with a 270 win. You couldn't tell the difference. Shot placement is key. Good luck with you choice. [/QUOTE]
