Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 300 WSM to 338 RCM - anyone do this?

To Calvin's comments, in the 300WSM, the 150 Barnes TSX or TTSX would be better close range elk bullets than the Scenar or Gamechanger.

Or if you can find them, the Winchester (Combined Technologies) Fail Safe would punch though an elk from any angle. The only one I ever caught out of my 338WM, was diagonally through an 80 yard bull moose on the second shot (I was shooting until it fell over, we had already tracked him 8km measured on the map). The bullet broke the onside hip, went through a full belly, the lungs, offside ribs, shoulder blade and was found under the hide at the front of the shoulder. Outstanding performance.
