I've used a 300 Win. mag. a lot, and i'm with Bigbulls on this one...

I got started on the 300 Win. mag., when i started hunting moose in the late 60's or early 70's, and it's a pretty good round, "IF" you don't mind the recoil, and extra gun weight. I've shot moose and deer with it, i don't remember what else at the moment.

Where we hunted moose, we got some long shots, and that's why i moved up from the 30-06 to the 300 Win. mag..

Years later it was the "in thing" to neck up the 300 Win. mag. case to .375, and and use 270 grain bullets in it for moose. A couple of my friends made them up, but i was never really impressed with them!!

My father use to get a kick out of shooting crows with it at long range, (useing 180 grain hunting loads) then go out and pick them up. He'd then put them in our old "pelt" freezer, and freeze them solid. Once frozen, he'd put them back out as "decoys" to shoot even more of them!!! Man, he got a lot of crows that way, and two different times that i remember, he shot two crows with one shot, as he'd wait untill two would line up for the shot. (on the ground) He sure got a kick out of that!!!
