Yeah, most of us who've been up-and-down high Rocky Mountain ridges have seen and heard it all.
Might just be due to injuries and getting older: I'm not likely to reach for a heavy rifle. An extra slice of roast beef on a sandwich is heavy after miles and hours of trekking the Rockies at altitude.
All I gotta do is put a bullet where it's supposed to go & let biology do the rest.
Sako that's the reason I no longer own/use any 300's anymore.
I agree on the "biology" part but that's not what I contended. I agree tat 270 class cartridges are adequate for elk ad other BG of similar size.
But what I said is that 300's are "more gun". I still believe that even though I use smaller stuff myself.
