Shoot a elk with a 22 mag behind the shoulder and it will be dead on its feet. It also might run a mile or more with little to now blood. Now do the same with a 300 win mag with a decent bullet and it might drop in its tracks or make a short run bleeding profusely in the process..


Yea but the question is can you put the bullet where it needs to go at 400 and over with a 300 mag. I can shoot the 300 mags very well, provided that I can take a good steady rest, and i'm not out of breath with my heart going 100mph.
