Her sample size may be stuck at 4 though. She killed her elk this year with my 300 win mag and 200 partitions. 😀

I doubt she weighs 115, full fed.


Sounds like she did just fine with the 308 loaded with federals. She will probably go back to that after firing off the 300wm. The WM always seemed to be too punishing as far as recoil is concerned. I'd rather shoot my 338wm. Do your daughter a favor and switch her back to that 308win...
