Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Which rifle would you use, a 300 win mag or 270 win for mixed bag hunt- Deer, Proghorn with possibility of elk?

I have done a mixed bag hunt just like you are asking 3-4 times and took a .300 WBY on all of them. Obviously, more power than needed but was glad to have a gun I trusted (the most important part) for long, windy shots. Could I have taken a 270 and had equal results? Probably, but I don't own a 270 that I trust but my 300 worked to perfection.

I am going on a similar hunt in two weeks, plus with a bear tag in my pocket. I am going take a 300 for sure but a 257 WBY is tagging along because I have room, which will be used on some of them, if wanted.

Bottom line, take the gun you are most comfortable with.
