Before he passed, my uncle hunted the thick pine woods around here w/ 2 diff. rifles. A short barrelled Rem. semi-auto in 30-06 and, mostly, a Win. M70 Safari Express in .375 H&H because he was "practising" (for 40 years) for an Alaska grizzly hunt. Sadly, his health failed before the hunt ever happened, but, with fact. 270gr loads, he could shoot at a fleeing buck from any angle w/ confidence that the bullet would get to where it needed to go. Our whitetails top out at over 300 lbs and some of the expanded bullets he recovered were as big as quarters. I think he used mostly Win. Super-X ammo.
