But for the rest of us hunters, it is a waste of time. I admire what Magnumdood and his ilk can do at long range, but I would never even try it. Doesn't apeal to me. But, pre-64 Winchesters do!

Tanner, just concentrate on finding out what your chamber is, then load up some rounds and go shoot it! Pay attention to what Safariman is telling you. He's giving you good advice, it's free, and it comes from years of experience. I'd use your gun to hunt all the game in America, and most in Africa. I used a Model 70 SS Classic chambered in 338 WM to shoot a B&C Grizzly in 2008. I wouldn't have hesitated to use a 300 Magnum of any of the various flavors available. One like yours is perfect for that sort of game.

Shoot it, get comfortable with it, then go forth and hunt!!!
