this last year i purchased a remington 700 bdl in 300winmag  didnt have to sight it in or anything.  shoots right on when i am on. it doesnt have one of those modern recoil pads but i still dont mind the kick. i think this gun will land me several animals. and really there is no need to use anything bigger than the 150 grain bullet in WA.
Dman:
 I agree with ya there, I don't like the performance (drop) of 180 grains.
addicted:
 i can see if your on the wet side for elk or bears or something where you know its gonna be a short shot and you just really dont want to have to track it.

hell you can put just about anything through the heart of an elk  and you still dont know whats going to happen. it might drop, run, or stand there long enough to catch another one.

If I kept running into 300 pound deer, I might choose the 180 grain Hornady out of the 30-06 as my primary cartridge.  Since I don't seem to find any, those sharp sticks I throw at them seems to work amazingly well.  Basically as addicted stated "it might drop, run, or stand there"  it's amazing how different each and every animal is. 
Don't mind me D-man, I haven't slept in two days and its starting to show.
