What I've heard fellas say is that they take their "super duper magnums" on hunts because they say it increases their odds of a kill.And I'll admit, I've fell victum to that same mind-set, lastfall I spent$485 on an elk tag and all of the rest of the moneyfor the tripand I grabbed my 300 win mag instead of my 30-30. Why? I guess I thought I didn't want to limit myself to 150ish yards.

I love my Winchester lever guns, and if I could hunt with a rifle here in Indiana, I do sincerely believe I'd carry my 30-30 or 44 mag 90% of the time.

Long range shooting is very challenging, but it really doesn't "trip my trigger" I usually go to Kentucky rifle hunting every year and next year my 300 will be left at home and I will only carry a unscoped lever gun.

IMOthat's huntin!
