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. smile
