After all is said and done

Get a 300 Winchester Mag. Tried and true..easy to find ammo for. Easy to load with lots of data available...and all the newer renditions of the 300 mags are really just a new way to try to sell a new rifle. Not enough difference in down range performance to make a hill of beans. Hell I have a 300 Win Mag but still prefer the old 06...maybe till I get to bears...and in Wyoming that is getting to be a problem. In many elk areas a rifle shot is like ringing a dinner bell for a grizzley. No joke. And they really aren't scared of humans! So for elk it'll be a 300 Win mag for me! Not many moose left here now either. Wolves ya know!
