Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 308 verses the 300 win mag

After a long, tedious stalk, and sure "point and shoot" shot, this buck had other ideas, and took off chasing another buck out of his territory. I waited patiently for over an hour for him to return to his does. Evidently the rut was over and he lost interest.

It was dead calm, so I put in 3.8 mils, and killed him with one shot in his bed.

For me it's not about how far I can shoot, it's about killing with one shot, cleanly. If I'm wondering how far I can shoot, I shoot steel with a spotter. You'll find out fast what you're abilities are if keep track of first round hits,

while shooting steel, especially if you're dealing with any wind.
