Re: Cartridge Choice for a big game bolt action rifle?

Wow!

So, do ya REALLY want something that will reach waaaay out there and touch something, like a zebra, at 400 yards??? Huh? Or a moose??? Mine went moose hunting last fall with that load (350TSX), and in a few weeks will be in Quebec for bear.

Best regards,

Welcome to the forum, mcb.






YES---I do---would not take too many shots at big game at that distance--but will if circumstances are perfect...big difference between shooting a cape buffalo at 400 versus and zebra...IMHO..


My comments were directed to the constand BS that magnums are too fast for bullets, recoil, air is too thick, sun isn't bright enough, global warming, etc....the key is to know your and your guns limits...period..

The statement however that bullets today will not hold up to todays guns in no longer valid and has not been so for quite some time..
