0-300yrds hunthing

[284wins]

Hi everyone, 300yrds is not longerange but I juste realise Im getting old and whant a light rifle to carry around on fine hunting. Got what I need for the longer shot.

Game will be white tail deer up to moose.

Dont whant to use a break on the rifle so thinking on light caliber.

I got die to load for 284win, 7mm08 but thinking about 270win and 243win too....

What will be your choice? Im open to other caliber too

With moose no smaller than a 284win in my book. My dad and grandfather have killed a few moose with their 7mm rem mags and those killed very well.

Got the die for that to, but wonder about de kick in a light rifle. My tikka varmint in 7mm mag is a plesure to shoot but it on the heavy side

Any of those choices will do you just fine. Pick one and get to gatherin groceries

I love my NULA in 270 so that's what I'd run.

When I'm shooting at a game animal I don't feel the kick.

270win... use to have one and sold it to build a longrange rig... but will have an other one some day, near no kick, shoot strait for what y need and ammo is not hard to find if lost in transport or no time to realod.

Classic like that never die

Me too but at the range it something esle and I tend to practice a lot

Have you considered something with a brake to use for when you practice and then you could remove for hunting?

 

[284wins]

Have not considered that option that why im looking in 'softer' caliber but could run à 7mm mag on light rifle for that

I would choose the 7mm-08, hasn't failed once. I have with a couple of bad shots but the rifle and cartridge have always performed very well.

With the right bullet and shot placement, you can't go wrong with either of your options.

Pick the one you shoot best.

Well keep in mind the bullet will be a factor.
I would say the 7mm-08 or the 270. Remember the Swedes have killed a lot of large animals with the 6.5 Swede which has less than the creedmore.
I'd say for you distance the 7mm with a hammer bullet would be perfect. I hunt everything up to elk with my creed and a 124gr hammer for your distance. After that I reach for a larger caliber. And it's a very light zero recoil rifle. And the 7mm-08 is right in that ballpark.

 

[snox801]

Keep in mind lighter bullet will recoil less and shoot faster and flatter and with monos they will stay together.

 

[284wins]

Precison first, 7mm08 is a wonderfull cardrige if it was born in 2021 it will be the caliber!!

That why I look at the caliber I mention. Might look for monos for moose but speer btsp nerver failed me at date
