thanks phil
i too believe that bigger is better... shoot the biggest gun you can comfortably shoot....that is if your hunting goes anything like mine.
you may say that i am not a good hunter or something stupid like that,but it's about enjoying your self and getting out there.....N-E-ways(betcha its been a while since you seen that one). with my hunting style being covering alot of ground (due to the fact that i move around alot) i do alot of clear-cut hunting and spot and stalk..i don't tend to get alot of time to wait for the perfect shot unless it's an animal i'm gonna pass on. they more often than not are on the move or are not offering the perfect 1/4ing away shot or are further than i fell comfortable with my calibur.. i end up passing more than i like because i don't think that my cal. can do the dirty work... you might say thats hunting but i don't like it! so i bought a bigger gun(280rem=old gun,300win mag=new gun). i feel comfortable with the 300 and will still use the 280 for deer, but the elk and moose get the 300. yes a 280 will work fine but i want to not have to pass up some of the shots i have in the past..i know that i will still have to pass up most of those less than favorable shots but the 300 will up my kill % and thats will up my confidence which goes alot further than any bullet.
