splattermatic, how bout a cow elk at 700 yards with a 338 rum shooting 250 grain smk's ! Didn't anyone tell you it is unethical to hunt with a muzzle brake on your rifle? I'd be ashamed. Congrats on the steaks and roast.

Excellent bullet placement. I'd venture a guess it was no accident...

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Here is another. This deer was shot at 800 yards, measured with a Swarovski rangefinder. Shot with a Weatherby 30-378 loaded with a 200 grain Accubond bullet at 3240 FPS. The scope is a Schmidt and Bender 4-16X50 Scope with Varmint dotted reticle. One shot ...dead deer.

The break is there. You don't want that much gun without it. Furthermore you don't want that much gun anyhow. I sold it and bought my 300 Weatherby back from the guy I sold it to and went elk hunting this year. Same Schmidt scope, 180 grain Nosler BT at about 3200 FPS. Elk at 450 yards ranged with Leica 1200. It has a brake on it as well. It is a Sako Deluxe 300 Weatherby. This rifle really shoots well.

nothing wrong with a 30-378... or for that matter with my 338-378
