A .300 Win Mag with a 215gr Berger is a serious hard to beat combo.

300wm is not too big for deer or antelope. I like shooting them with my 300wm. This year I shot deer and antelope in WY with my 250 Savage and 243 Win and they were fine but I kind of miss dropping them with the 200 gr bullets out of the 300 mag.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Thanks for all the info.

Okay, new question, I'm jacking my own thread. 7mm rem mag or 300 win mag? Want to hunt the above mentioned animals. I've ruled out 30-06 because I already own one. Looking to shoot out to potentially 400 or 500 yards max.

Any thoughts appreciated.

If your gonna get kicked, may as well go with the 300 win mag.

Unless you’re just going to use it at the range. I vote for 300 wm it’s my go to rifle and I have 30/06 and 270.
