I have used the .300 for over 50 years. The 150's do shoot flat and do loose speed, but when I had my first bighorn permit, I used Nosler BTBT and 3" high it shot less than 2 feet low at 500 yards. I tried it and needed it. You can use heavier bullets for bigger animals with no problem. I have killed big game with all the bullets wts. between 125 and 220 except 190s. I have shot numerous elk with 150s. A hit behind the shoulders they are toast. These guys are all saying a good hit is all you need, well 150s kill elk just fine when hit behind the shoulders. If I am hunting elk, I use a heavier bullet usually. Right now I am loaded with 165 Accubonds. These clowns are good at passing on hearsay about everything. I have used my .300 as well as most other calibers over the last 60 years. For big game it is the top of the pile. It can do anything a .308 can, and lots more. Use it you enjoy it. It is not always necessary but at times it is handy to have the speed, power and flat shooting of this caliber.
