[QUOTE="Tom Wright, post: 2264017, member: 108611"] A bunch of years ago I bought a Browning xbolt in 300WM before a Canadian whitetail hunt, during which I took a 300+lb. deer. Since that time is has become my go-to rifle, having made three tips to Spain, four to South Africa and trips out west to Montana, Wyoming,New Mexico and Texas. With it I have taken 60+ plus trophies from steenbuck and klipspringer, to kudu, eland, wildebeest and nilgai, with prong horn and mule deer thrown in. For the smaller game I’ve used 150 and 165 grain Bullets, and the larger 180, 185 and 200 grain. For antelope and western deer I use 165 grain, and prefer Swift a-frame 180 grain for the bigger species. Most were one shot kills, unless I screed up—never the rifle or bullet’s fault. The big thing is that being a primarily one gun hunter, everything is automatic. Good luck; hope it works for you. A few pics to back up the verbiage. [/QUOTE]
