unless you like chasing a deer or are going after elk,moose,beer i would advoid the 300's i have had 3 differant ones i don't like them for deer. 308 or 7 mag would do it i personally like 30-06 or 338win mag

  I have been doing quite well  for 30 years with my 300 win mag and 30/06 with hand loads the can be equal to any task large or small.  With the new ammo on the market you don't need to hand load unless you want to.

I have a 375 h&h browning with a boss. Shoots great, but only comes in a bolt action but you probbly already know a bolt is more accurate.

I have a savage .270 bolt action. That'll do the job for you.

love bolt action 308's with a long heavy barrel, I have taken deer at 300 yards with mine, you can use them for elk and moose, some say its too light, I think its fine, you just have to hit em where it counts, otherwise if you want to feel safer, use a .300

I have a 300 win and with the 165 sighted at a inch high at 100yds it is about 6" low at 300 yds.Never hold off the target.We have been hunting peanut fields in NC and just shootum where they stand!!BB

I will just say that I use a .308 and it likes to get the job done.

[roscoe]

Used to use 270,30-06,300 win.mag.Had shoulder surgery,now use a Browning stainless stalker in 243 win.I haven't had to shoot more than once yet.Accurate and no recoil

[Lobes]

All the calibers listed above work great for ranges out to 300 yards. I'd stick with a 7mm - .30 cal. in magnum loads if you want to reach out much farther.

[bwhunter2417]

.270 short mag

[deerme117]

Remington 30.06 Models 740 and 760 do the job for me.

My new long range deer and antelope gun is a Weatherby wildcat called a 25-300. It's a 300 Wby case necked down to .25 caliber. It'll blast a 100 gr bullet bullet @ 4060 fps  With a 3" high sight in @ 300 yds it drops -8.1" @ 500 yards retaining 1464 lb's of knockdown power The deer & antelope all have a scared look in their eye's If you really want to burn some powder, break out the .30-.378

Out west here long shots are sometimes the norm. I shot a .270 exclusively for years and routinely took antelope out to 350 yards and a bear once at 370 yards. A few seasons ago I picked up a .300 WSM and put a 3x9 Burris balistic plex scope on it. So far I have killed several elk with one shot each, and a couple whitetails and antelope. IMO one of the best long range rifles around. With that ballistic plex scope I have no problem putting them in the kill zone up to 400 yards. Everything that's shot with it dumps hard!!

Here's a mule deer that my buddy shot with my rifle last season at nearly 400 yards. We waited this buck out until the last 5 minutes of light and he decided to take the shot with my rifle when we couldn't get any closer. He took a solid prone rest, shot, and all 4 legs went in the air! Those ballistic plex scopes are awesome when combined with a quality range finder.

THAT IS A WAY COOL PICTURE !!!
Great job !!!
