Been hittin the eggnog pretty hard? Agree on the recoil, but you pulled the rest outta your ass.


Pretty sure I use more reach on elk than most and willing to bet I have punched tags further than any .300 bee lover. laugh

But then if that fits the bill then the .340 Weatherby offers even less reach and kicks even more.

But then if that fits the bill then the .33-.378 Weatherby offers even less reach and will kick even more.

Need I go on?? grin


Maybe you could school us on a 243 at 700 yards. Now that is a good round...


Based on my experience the .243 Win with the 105gr VLD is better at 700yds than the .300 Weatherby.

Both are pushing the limit. Lots of better options if you need reach but I would take the .243 Win/ 105gr VLD over the .300 Bee every time.

Have you had a problem killin elk with the .243 Win? cool
