Is a Sandero 300 Win Mag too much for White Tail?
 
I am just curious, I am planning on going out west with family and hunting Elk as well. I have not hunted before I have always wanted too, I finally have a job where I can spend the money and time into hunting.

Thanks

Depends,can you shoot it well?dead is dead no matter the cause.

If you can shot it go for it. I killed wv deer with my 300 weatherby, and use my go to gun a 7mm mag. I know someone with a Sanderson in 300 ultra mag. They killed elk and moose along with deer with it.

I have shot rifles before, not recently, I am going to take the proper precautions to learn and practice everything needed.

A heavy rifle not one to carry around in the mountains, but a nice rifle to watch opens ranges.

I've got a buddy who hunts whitetails with a .300 WSM -- I don't see a problem.

I hunt whitetails with a 300 Wby Mag. Unless you shoot them through the hindquarters, not much different.

My father killed two this year with is 35 whelen. Know a couple of guys that use 300 win. I like big guns.

More gun than is needed strictly for deer but there is no such thing as overkill. Dead is dead. I've been known to shoot deer with a 375 H&H Mag and a 9.3x62 Mauser. If you're combining deer with an elk hunt then the 300 is a great choice. I'm a believer in carrying a big enough gun to cleanly take the biggest animal you expect to run into.

Take the 300 and enjoy the hunt.
