Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles For hunting out to 600 meters 300 Win Mag or .338 Laupa

heck 600 yards is well within reason for a plain vanilla 06...

I once thought I needed a 300 Win Mag and even a 338...

both pretty accurate... but they collected a lot of dust in the gun safe I use to have...

only time I really shot them was to pull them out and take them to the range to get the dust off of them...

usually was just shooting them down loaded...

if ya gotta need for a mag tho, make it a Magnum..

with these new Hornady ELD bullets up to 225 grains... that will put a lot of long range thump out there...

gotta friend who thinks he needs one for elk hunting...

I'm trying to tell him an 06 or even 270 with partitions and he's good to go..

for some reason, everyone thinks you only shoot elk at 1000 yds...not if you are a good enough hunter...

so many guys here in Oregon think that way... you need w things for elk hunting... a Magnum and a 4WD full size pickup for the road hunting you're going to be doing...
