Where do you hunt that you use a 300 winmag for deer? I use a 150gr in a 30-30. Occasionally I'll use a 165gr in a 30-06. Of course I use the same .06 round for elk too and do just fine. Hope I am not sounding offline here......Its just I don't know anyone who uses a winmag or 7mm on deer and wondered where you hunt that so much power was necessary.

 

Most of the time I use my Remingtom 700 BDL in 300 WM topped with a 4.5x14 Leupold. It's stoked with handloads of 150 gr Nosler BT at 3360 fps. That is because I usually hunt an alfalfa field where a shot may be 600 yards. Last year's deer was at 515 yards.
Same setup for Antelope.

For Elk, I switch to a handloaded 180gr Barnes-X @ 2970 fps.

When I hunt deer in timber, I will usually go with my Winchester M70 in 30.06 BOSS/ Burris 3x9 and factory loads of either 150 Nosler BT or 150 Sierras

30-06 mauser action with Weaver scope- 3-9. built for me by my brother.... Love this rifle and have taken whitetail and elk with it. Never had to shoot twice.

.308 lightweight M70 with Leupold 3-9 scope. sweet shooting little rifle and a joy to carry.

I handload .130 hornday spire points for both these rifles and have never lost a whitetail. Most of the time it is hoofs a kickin coming off recoil.

Have a .270 on the same mauser action being built right now. Can not wait to get it and try it out this year!!!

Browning .308 lever action gold trigger.Federal 150 gr for yotes and deer,180 gr for bear and moose.

 

for me 30-06 remington with 150 grain bullets but thinking of stepping up to 180 grain. would personally myself take the browning gun and throw it out into the woods and then go out into the woods find it and throw it again. long story if you wanna know message.

 

weez440, I think I know that story.

 

I too know that story with my browning shotgun- 3.5 gold hunter. Have sent it back to browning 3 times and it has jammed on the first shot coming back from them everytime. They say they find nothing wrong. Most expensive single shot shotgun I have ever bought. The only thing is cycles is 3.5 inch shells.

Pretty gun though.... One of those leave it in the cabinet shotguns.
