[QUOTE="Lefty G-gear, post: 2514786, member: 26902"] I live in Wyoming, and have taken 5 big game animals - all within 300-yards: One 5-pt bull elk with a .30-06 and 165-gr. Nosler Partition bullet (60-yards). One buck antelope with a 7mm Remington Magnum and 150-gr. Partition (150-yards). One muley buck with a .30-06 and 165-gr. Partition (75-yards). One muley doe, 30-06 and 150-gr. Partition (50-yards running). One muley buck with a .338 RUM and 210-gr. Partition. (205-yards = devastating! - Broadside, blew its heart in half, made mush of the lungs, and exited its shoulder.) Grizzly Territory in Sunlight Basin, North of Cody, WY. - We had elk tags also for that area. I like my Dad's .338 Winchester Magnum over my 338 RUM: less kick and blast (concussion), less powder, no muzzle brake needed, and adequate out to a quarter-mile (440-yards). - Sold the RUM. Be ready for the long-shot, but you will probably be closer than you thought. [/QUOTE]
