[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 2276027, member: 19988"] The man said his set up was very accurate out to 500 yards. I don’t know him from Adam, but I’m not going to knock his shooting abilities. You said you have shot elk at 100 yards /w a 300 WBY and a 180 grain bullet and you found no blood. That’s very odd to me. I can not tell you how many deer my friends and I have shot with 22-250 and 220 swift’s with only 50 - 60 grain bullets. We always shoot them in the neck because they just fold up like a pretzel. The amount of kinetic energy from these 2 small calibers breaks the neck instantly. My little 260 w/ 140 grain Berger break necks all day on elk. I find it hard to believe that a 300 WBY can not.
