MD: Friend of mine, a good guy but poor shot,came from NY to practice at my range. He sucked SO bad with his 300 Weatherby I made him put it away and pull out his 270,which he did MUCH better with. I told him to use the 270 in Alberta, which he did.

He STILL missed, but admitted he was just a bum shot and really needed to practice more.....there's a lesson here.

At the risk of generalizing,I seem to run into two types of 300 mag shooters; those who know EXACTLY what they are doing,are very fine shots and very experienced guys; and those who are completely clueless.... smile

Missing 3 deer on ONE TRIP really sucks!What can you say to a guy like that? I'd feel really sorry for him..... frown




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
