Normally a 300 inch bull is near the top for 76, but of course there are some exceptions. I have taken somewhere over a dozen bulls from 76 and only one was above 300 inches (if memory serves it measured around 330). I think there were three 6x6 bulls that were in the 290 range, but most were 5x5 or smaller bulls.
