Gets the opening day nod this year

This one will be better.

Incredible. Are Mastodons moving back into the Floridas?

guess I shouldn't feel too guilty, shooting a turkey with a .270

Does it over penetrate, the 460 that is.

It


Not until it buys him dinner first

ehnm -

Show Off ! !

Jwall......

The only folks who use a goddam cannon like that for deer around here are those dumazz city slickers.

Used to know several guys that hunted with 300 WIN MAG rifles, I believe the only one that still uses one has a Sendero.

I've killed quite a few deer with a 300 Win. Along with a 338 Win mag, 375 H&H, and an 8mm mag.

Blackheart, you're very fortunate to live in an insane asylum that allows you to hunt

It works (the .300 Win Mag that is):

Absolutely, it's one of my favorite calibers

What bullet do you use,John?

A friend of mine uses 220 gr. sierra round nose in his. Kills 'em dead and you can eat right up to the bullet hole.

Ken, this rifle really likes the 180 grain Tipped Tsx out of factory loaded Barnes Vort

As a benefit it likes the 180 grain blue box federal almost as much, with little appreciable difference in POA

Gotcha.

Mine too and you're right - "it works"


6 Pt - 17 1/2" inside --389 yds.



10 Pt - 194 lbs - 180(?) yds




8 Pt - 140" Class

Sweet.

I'll be using my 300 WSM with Federal 180 grain Nosler Partitions

I'm not the one using a fuggin moose rifle to shoot deer. WTF do you use for small game a .270 ?

The first deer I ever got with a 300WinMag was a month ago with a Mosin Nagant I converted with a 22" Krieger barrel.

125 gr Nosler Ballistic tips 66 gr IMR-4166 3200 fps 47kpsi

Why so wimpy? That is what it wanted to shoot.

Yup,along with a 7x57 or any big game cartridge I own. It makes excellent practice for hunting big game before the season starts.

I use my deer rifles for woodchucks in the summer but stick with the .22LR for small game as I like to eat the cottontails and squirrels I shoot. Two of my main deer rifles are a .223 and a .243 so they do make good chuck rifles.

I don't eat rabbits or squirrels,just use them for practice.

Paid off using the 7x57 on jackrabbits this year. Although the shot was only 110 yds,was very confident in the rifle. Used the same load (160 gr Sierra GK) on deer and rabbits.

Yep + I've used a 270 et.al. on crows, egrets, etc.

12, The .300 is my favorite big game caliber. Have been shooting my old 700 since the 70's.. It is now on its 3rd barrel, and still shooting great.. I should count up the big game it has taken.. I am certain well over 100 head.. In the days before range finders and turrets it kept our house in meat for many winters.. Now I have a second one.. Use it for very open hunting.. Used in in Pa. to watch old strip mines..
The shots were long, and little time to shoot.. It is the best I have tried for this kind of shooting..

Like you I have shot deer with .338, 340, and 45-70.. None with my .375 but have used it on antelope.. Plus have shot deer with most of the common calibers from the Hornet right on up.. Shoot straight and hope you get a big one..

Cool picture. Congrats. Jackrabbit hunting is the way to go. For those here that didn't grow up shooting jacks on the run, surely missed out. No better way to hone the skills IMHO...

This posting reminds me of why I 'shun' some types!!

You mean the types that hunt deer with guns?

A shotgun, duhh


Oh and my moose rifle is a 375 H and H

Are you saying that you shun me for using a 300 mag for deer?

All us "English" are shunning you,so I guess now you gotta go live among the Amish....Lol...By the way I mean no disrespect to any Amish folks that might see this thread..
