I'm old school as far as rifles are concerned. I use my Savage 99 .308. Barnes TSX 150 gn. Seems to work for me.

WAM eats like every day is Thanksgiving. Large fork, please!

Someone please tell BuzzH we had to come back to drop off a few working-stiffs......but heading back towards Douglas today. Have a whitetail tag.....of all things.

Also tell him some of his internet friends gave up his name quite a while back. With friends like that.....

Assure him he is in no danger.......unless he swings his skateboard.

But if he still insists on cave-camping......we have another hunt scheduled for December 4th. Ration accordingly.

I'll be (solo) in the red grocery-getter.......Iowa plates. Everyone out there knows where I base tent camp. No phone service.

I just assumed llama bob was another reincarnation of Larry Root.

caveat. Did not read replies. Mostly due to what 24 hour has become..

308 and 168 ttsx was more impressive on moose than 338 win mag and 250 partitions... both moose dead by clients. Almost exact same range at around 100...

Wouldn't bother me in the least. OTOH I'd hunt moose or elk with a 243 too. Bullet choice. Shot placement. As with anything light you might have to pass a shot though... thats where the big boomers come in. but watching the 338 win mag at 250 partitions I'd have to pick another bullet for dang sure.. That bullet twice never made it to the ribs on the other side of a big moose and neither were full on shoulder bone shots...


We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Had an old friend in Salcha, AK (Mr. Bradshaw) who only hunted with Savage Model 99 rifles. Said the 308 was useless on moose, but the 300 savage killed them "deader than dead."

He was old when I met him and is probably resting with the angels by now. This was 1989 timeframe, and all he shot was cup and core. His mantra was "placement, placement, and placement. In that order."

Most of the natives I met in the villages were shooting moose with 308s, and that was their "big gun."

They were big on sneaking closer, then "closer still." One guy, with one arm from an accident, hunted with an iron sighted Model Seven in 308 and had a moose for every family member darn near each year. He'd dog me when I hunted out there (near King Salmon) for bringing a "300 whatever the heck that thing is" instead of learning to be more stealthy and a better shot.

40 years later, I realize he was right.

These old stories are fun.. But in most cases they are about some old timer who lived in the country with unlimited time to hunt... I knew one of these guys in my youth .. He kept his family fed on wild game.. Legal or other wise.. First he used a model 94 .30/30. He had a chance to pick up a 99.300 Savage. He didn't hesitate, it was his rifle, the kids got the .30-30s.. Then the 06 became more common in that area.. First chance he picked one of those up..

The residents in the far north used to use .22 Hornets and .222s for big game lots of ammo in a small package.. If game got away there is always another one.. This is JOC's writing.

Sure a .308 with kill elk.. One old rancher of my youth shot elk with his 722 .222. Ear shot in his hay fields late summer early winter.. Come season it was an 06 later a .264.. Another friend told me he had shot 150 elk with his .243.. They were shot in the ear while eating on his hay stacks in winter.. Meat was given to folks that needed it.. Hunting on his own, .270 or .300WM..

What I find interesting is the impression some have that a 300 mag is a good 500-600 yard elk cartridge but a 308 isn't a good 300-400 yard elk cartridge.

Yeah, I always find that interesting too!

My personal experience with the .308 and elk indicates that if somebody has trouble with the .308 they either need to practice more, or maybe use a different bullet.

Probably very true.. Not many use the .308 here.. But one of my pals in northeast Wyo.. Has outfitted his wife and girls with fairly heavy .308s but with the barrels cut of I think to about 20".. They slay piles of game with them.. I think they use 125 gr. Accubonds.. These girls are of slight stature but have been shooting since they could pick up a rifle. I guess the .308 on elk and the .223 on deer get old..
