POLL: Your maximum rifle range on Deer

[skeet]

Is one thing I do not have. All these new Rums and ultras and super shorts etc aren't really any better than what we already had. Mostly a way to sell more new rifles etc etc. 50 more ft per second really doesn't give ya any advantage that I can see. Sure I have a few mags. Have an old Winchester M-70 in 375 H&H and another M-70 in 338 mag. They were bought years ago when I worked in Alaska. The last magnum I have is a 300 Winchester that I will use on Elk...and maybe moose in Wyoming. Moose in Alaska I used the 338. They live in some really nasty country and there are a few ocassional Grizzlies in the same area. They(grizzlies) are one of the hardest critters to stop I have ever seen....especially when they are stirred up. A long shot on Moose in Alaska is usually fairly short...but that muskeg is hard to go through tracking a wounded one. I also have an old German 300 Weatherby but a friend has had it for years in Alaska. One of the nastiest rifles I have ever shot. He kills his moose with it every year, though. My usual hunting rifle is generally a 280 Rem, 270 Win, 30-06 or 7mm-08..for deer etc. I also bought a Custom rifle at a yard sale(among others) this year that I may try on a moose or Elk. It is a Dale Goens built 35 Whelen. Have shot a few rounds through it and it is very accurate and kicks less than my 338.
