Of the six it required zero tracking they were all dead right there. Four were Bulls and two Cows


Sounds like you are doing something right. I will agree with Bob and others that say this thread is a little on the drivvely side.. laugh. I'll also agree with Bob about using the 300 WBY in timber. When I had mine, I wouldn't hesitate about shooting though a lodge pole pine to drop a bull with it. One thing about the 300 WBY, it really penetrates with good bullets. It's also been my experience that it can be downright explosive with the wrong bullets. I also believe that wyocoyotehunter uses the 300 win mag, from previous talks with him. While it's not a 300WBY, it's a powerful contender that I have no use for. Too much recoil, but then again I only loaded 200gr. pills in mine. Why not use a heavy bullet in a big sledge hammer like the 300wby or 300wm? If you drop down to 165's you might as well be using a 308 win or 30-06. How's that for drivel Bob? I mean icing on the cake.... laugh
