Re: Caliber's choice for hunting

grandveneur,
I don't know what sort of mediaum game the .300 would be too light for, but if necessary, I do have the previously mentioned .350 Remington Magnum. It will handle the heavier bullets,(250 grains and up), better than the .300 will, but it will only do it out to 250 yards or so. I guess my choices were determined by what I would hunt and the guns I chose are the ones I feel I can shoot well. The longer ranges are where I think the .300 would really shine! There have been many heavy bodied Elk shot at terribly long distances with the .300, further in fact than I feel I would ever try and shoot. Moose are generally not shot at long distance and I know the .300 will handle them, O.K. The .300 is about ideal for Bighorned Sheep or Antelope, which are said to take alot of killing power to put down. Those are the only long distance game animals that I would ever hunt with a "medium" rifle.
