Wicked stomper for sure - IF - the shooter can place the shot. I think my 300 Wby has more 1 shot drops than my 270 Win. I shoot 180gr, 200gr NP & 200gr Speer - all results have been similar. I’ve also (sadly) shanked a few animals that are just as bad off as if shot with a 22 Hornet so I’d recommend to the OP - call ur shot or don’t make the shot. Last edited by PintsofCraft; 12/19/21.

Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.
