"Where's the meat?" That's what you'll be saying when you blow a hole through a deer with that cannon! I did that one year when I used to hunt in Oregon. I was down to just using my elk rifle, it was a Ruger 300 win mag. I shot a nice little buck at 80 yards with it. The bullet picked up the deer and tossed it about 10-15 yards. And it also blew a 9 inch round hole right through the middle of it! Didn't get much meat off that guy! But good luck! Nice gun btw!I've shot quite a few deer with .300 win mags and never ruin much meat. Just don't shoot them in the shoulder and you should be alright.

Ha ha easy now. A spike bull is better than no bull. And I didnt shoot it till the last two days left of the hunt. Ill be enjoying some delicious elk tenderloins for breakfast in the morning.
Maybe you should have got out of the truck??? ;)

I shot 176 Groundhogs one spring/ summer all with a .300 win Mag Sendero. The hits were spectacular to say the least and not one of them even got launched 10-15 yards. I have hit deer in a 3/4 ton four wheel drive at 60 and that didn't even launch them 10-15 yards. :liar:
I have shot mule deer at 70 yards with a .375 Ultra Magnum and a 260grNosler Ballistic tip and the exit hole was maybe 3" . :bs:

nice gun... and 30 cals have been used for deer long before the 300 rem ultra...
just choose the right bullet for the game and your good to go.
can easily reload and turn it into a 300 win or something similar. :twocents:

There is no such thing as overkill, and to the post that said the .300 win mag picked up the deer and threw it 10 - 15 yards, I presume this was a joke but in case it wasn't. No it didn't.

I shoot a 300 Weatherby Mark V with a Swarovski Z6 3-18X50. I have never "blown up" a deer. A bear I killed last year at 40 yards did have a big exit would but I shot it through the neck as it was standing up looking at me, a spine is like a 12 gauge shotgun inside an animal if you hit it from 40 yards.
I have a 257 Weatherby as well but its not as fun as the 300
I agree its defintiely BS that a 300 mag picked up a deer and threw it. I remember thinking that was possible back when I was a kid though.

We may let you slide on your scope only being 10x. I am just not sure how you expect to see what others hunters hats say with only a 10 x scope. :dunno: :chuckle: I do have to ask though, do you have a little pink skirt to put around the end of the barrel where the brake is? :chuckle:
I'm learning in sewing class how to make one that will stay on...so we're working on that. I need to reinforce the elastic where the waist band on the skirt would be because the muzzle blast keeps blowing it off 10-15 yards away.

My favorite is a (pre detachable magazine) Rem 700 Mountain Rifle in .280 with a Brown Precision stock.
Awesome rifle and great caliber. I prefer the non-detachable magazine. I've been looking for a really clean one in a .280 for a while. I've found a couple but they were beat.
Post by: KimberRich on October 11, 2011, 12:21:24 PM
Just set up a Featherweight M70 in .257 Roberts w/ a 3.5-10 Leupold on it for this year.
I've hunted with a Kimber w/ a 4.5-14x40 Leupold the last few years and with the scope and sling it's under 7 lbs. It's awesome to carry and shoots great.
Cool thread. It's interesting to see what everybody uses.

Ill be using my sendero in 300 rum for deer. With 210 Berger handloads and a brake. It has a 50mm lens and goes to 20 power. Not sure if I am a sissy or not. But if I am oh well. Ill use my bow on a deer this year also to even it out.With a RUM, a 50mm lense that goes to 20x and Berger handloads, definitely not a sissy, brake or no brake.

why you say that? it's made for way out there, but i'd be silly to pass up short shots?

Conversly my My dad had a 416 Remington Mag, loaded with 400Gr hornady round noses. He shot a doe with it and I dont think the bullet hit enough animal to start to expand. Entry and exit were nearly the same size. Now I understand that that a 225 gr 338 bullet is quite a bit smaller than 400gr 416, and the 338 will open up and a deer shoulder but with a quality bullet that is meant to retain it's mass it can not be as bad as/worse than the 270 i described above...
My gun is that same old 270 I bought when I was 14 (29 now), M70 Featherweight classic with a burris 3-10 on top, shooting 130gr accubons. Regretably this round is only slightly less damaging than those old bronze points. I had seen an add for accubons in a Mag that said "No foul, lots of harm!". You better believe it! Punched a nasty hole through my anelope last year.

Too much gun is like too much money...
Agreed mostly.
I do wonder if some folks are aware that a 300rum shooting 180 grain accubonds is the same bullet as a 30-06 shooting 180 grain accubonds is the same bullet as a .300 win mag shooting 180 accubonds (or whatever bullet you choose) etc. The only difference is the speed it's moving so.........why is a 300RUM overkill and a 30-06 is not?? A few hundred feet per second here and there can't make too much difference. It's definitely not making a deer more deader. Bullet quality and shot placement is where the meat loss come from. A Nosler ballistic tip is going to grenade when it hits and ruin a lot of meat, be it from a .270, a .243 or a .300RUM.

Glad to see ya all liked my sarcasm. :chuckle: But truth be known I still didn't get much meat out of the middle of that deer. The 300 did a great job of making a good sized hole, but mostly it was all blood shot. By comparison, a few years before my buddy made a similar kill shot with a 30.06 using 165 grain. It didn't do quite the damage the 300 did, but if ya hit them right in the middle, you'll lose a lot of rib meat for sure!
There area always be your angle shots but the majority of the time. You will have your side on or slightly quartered shot and thats from 25 years of slapping the trigger on deer. I would shoot them with a surplus 105mm Howetzer if I could get one and if the powers that be would allow it. Who cares about the whole rib cage, you can blow a hole in the middle of one big enough to crawl through and still be good to go?????
In the middle??????

I agree. A 300RUM could destroy more meat than a 30-06 due to the increase in velocity if a crappy bullet is used. A Remington Core-lokt in 180gr will likely hold up at 30-06 velocities, but that same bullet out of a RUM would likely blow apart (unless the animal is far enough out there so that the impact velocity is low enough). But use a bonded bullet or copper bullet and you're not going to have a problem with the higher velocity destroying game. :twocents:

Remington model 700 BDL mountain in 270 win. Gun is from very early 1970 with the original Leupold 3 x 9 scope from the same time. Last year had to send the scope into Leupold since it was fogging and they fixed it for free. They couldn't even track the serial number it was so old. Funny thing is though, every animal I've ever shot with it has ended up in my freezer and never ran more than 30 yards........does that make it enough gun???
The 270 is a great all around gun. Flat shooting, good for deer and even elk. I wish I still had mine. I liked the caliber.

partition 165 for deer and 180 for elk. I've killed some paper the last three years but no animals yet. Saturday can't come soon enough :IBCOOL:

We may let you slide on your scope only being 10x. I am just not sure how you expect to see what others hunters hats say with only a 10 x scope. :dunno: :chuckle: I do have to ask though, do you have a little pink skirt to put around the end of the barrel where the brake is? :chuckle:
I'm learning in sewing class how to make one that will stay on...so we're working on that. I need to reinforce the elastic where the waist band on the skirt would be because the muzzle blast keeps blowing it off 10-15 yards away.
I tried the sewing thing with mine but the needle was way to small for my fingers, so I went a different route. It's not as Classy as a hand stitched skirt but it is a " All weather model" and fits my "Sissy" brake on my 450 Ultra Magnum nicely. I did find one in a light shade of mauve that would fit a box of factory ammo nicely but for the life of me I couldn't find a box of " Sissy " factory ammo anywhere in my reloading room.
I have not tried firing the rifle with the skirt in place, so there may be a chance of it being blown 10-15 yards away. I will test it before Sat deer opener here in Easten WA.

:chuckle: :chuckle: Do you have a 'sissy stand' (bi-pod) to hold it up and steady? :sry:
Yes, along with target knobs, laser range finder and a iPhone ballistics program for those extremely unethical shots that still manage to kill things.
The whole set up is a real wreck! I fear for my reputation, I think I'll just stay in the dark timber this elk season. So as not to be teased.

The skirt is easily removable and can be switched between all my rifles with brakes easily, it fits my .270 WSM with a brake nicely. Yes, the barrel is fluted, I was affraid I would be called a wuss if I couldn't hack/hump the non fluted barrel efficiently. I also installed a Shilen trigger due to the wuss factor of not being able to pull the factory trigger weight in extreme conditions/ weather. Please let me know if there in anything else I can do to the rifle to keep the sissy/ wuss factor as low as possible, I don't need the stress of a rifle complex while in the field this year. I need to stay focused.Do you have pneumatic tires on a cart to wheel it through the thick stuff? :chuckle:

Savage 111L in a 20" barrell Mannlicher stock
Leupold 3-9X40 Vari X3 scope
150 gr. Hornady Light Magnum noslers out of the barrel at 3,350fps. Shoots flatter than almost any 270 load,
Its a great mountain gun and fun to shoot too!

I shoot a Remington 7mm Ultra Mag, wife shoots a Tikka 270 Short Mag, and my new favorite is my 8 year old daughters Remington Model 7 243 with the 18 inch barrel and a modified stock for her pull, fits her perfect and hoping she will get to use it this Saturday.
That 7 Ultra pushing 160gr Accubonds is one wicked open country rifle, I know. :tup: Groundhogs are a ton of fun with it also! :o

So far this year I've used 390 grain Gold Tip arrows tiped with Montec broadheads, 50 cal Knight bighorn using 300 grain SST's pushed by 100 grains of FFF Tripple Seven and now I'll be using my Savage model 16 stainless in .270wsm with 130gr Accubonds pushed by RL25. Ahh this Multi-season tag is great, authough I will be :bash: if I don't get something. Regardless, an excused to spend time in the woods is worth the cost.

with a nikon prostaff scope I think thats the one ...
and its tired of shooting paper only :bash: :bash: maybe this will be the year :dunno:
It did have a trigger upgrade from the 5000lb pull standard ruger trigger....it was supposed to get a bipod put on it but.....came back from visiting a friend still minus bipod installed....course then I am gonna need a sherpa to carry it for me....I am a wuss.....and its a heavy gun...the plus side is she doesnt kick me and I hate recoil so put up with the extra weight
now I will say I am jealous of the pink skirt that is awesome :chuckle:

I love that gun, you can really reach out and touch something with it. I do most my killing out to 400 to 500 yards being the reason I purchased it. I like sitting up and glassing big holes. Scope is in the shop right now but when it gets back I'm going to start shooting those 160's, was shooting 140's and had a hell of a time putting a bull down at 420 yards. Groundhogs sound like a blast, so much fun I'd probably melt my barrel down doing it. LolI shoot a Remington 7mm Ultra Mag, wife shoots a Tikka 270 Short Mag, and my new favorite is my 8 year old daughters Remington Model 7 243 with the 18 inch barrel and a modified stock for her pull, fits her perfect and hoping she will get to use it this Saturday.
