I can come up there and you could teach me some boxing moves and i'll teach you how to Hunt!!! Sound like a Deal?

Like i said P.M me. I would have to meet you in person to see if i could handle hunting with you. And if i cant, then we could spar a couple 3 min rounds.lol. Whitetail I don't have the energy or the interest to argue with you anymore. I'm glad you love your weatherbys and magnums. And i'm happy with my tikkas and remingtons and standard cartridges. I think we hunt and shoot with different expectations on what we get out of our experiences. I'm glad for success hunting and shooting. And wish you luck in future seasons. But my grandfather taught me how to hunt and i'm sure you couldn't do any better than he.

Alot of what you said makes sense,nothing wrong with a tikka and remington firearms,heck We have way more standard cartridges in our gun safe than weatherby cartridges.I'm sure your grandpa was a good hunting mentor,just like my father to me.Good luck to you this Fall!!! Maybe you'll get one of them huge bull elk that are around GP!!!

I suppose only to justify to their wives why they need to blow so much money on so many guns when really one gun and one bullet can do it all if u practice your shooting abilities.[/QUOTE



If you "ethically" want to shoot game at those distances ,practice is good. So is using a 160gr -175gr 7mm bullet . It typically has better BC,SD than a 140 gr, will fly flatter farther and hit harder. And whats wrong with owning more than one gun if you have the means too???All the power to you if you choose to own only one ,but keep your assumptions to your self

7MM Rem Mag......I load my own ammo,150 grain bullets loaded pretty hot seem to do the trick for whatever I want to shoot.
Always thought of getting another "deer" gun but really why bother...
Personally I'd probably never take a 500 yard shot simply due to crappy eye sight and I almost always use a range finder if I have time.....Daniel Boone I aint!!

300 win mag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fish_e_o]

honestly i just picked by what was in stock and the price...

my thought process was as follows
i like weatherby, browning, and cz

the browning x-bolt looked and shouldered the best

they had 243, 280, 300 wsm, and 325 wsm in stock

the 325 didn't tickle my fancy because it's just a renecked 300wsm

the 243 is nice but i wanted to get elk and moose

the 280 is an awesome caliber but not common enough

so it was the 300 wsm...

they all work great..

It's not maybe. It's when. The only reason i don't have a big buck or moose on the wall is because i love elk meat. And i have a hard time saying no to the first one i see thats legal. I got a nice 5x5 on the wall and an ok 4x4 whitetail on the same wall, but like i said i think we hunt for different reasons. But thats ok 2.

450 yards even on a bench is far.... where you on a flat?... up , or down did you have a rest... where you breathing hard.... 450 yards is a long shot.... what cal where you using and how hight did you aim what was the bullet and powder charge.... I would like to know .
