[QUOTE="dunndee, post: 943944, member: 70370"] Great thread. I too am new to long range hunting but not so new to long range shooting. I'm retired Army and in the early days of my career attended the aerial gunnery school where we shot everything from the tried and true M60 to the mini-gun; however, my personal favorite was the M14 platform that we used for more personal and precise scenarios that would give us a little more moving around room. I now find myself shooting the 308 usually in a Savage or Ruger American (don't laugh I'm putting kids through colledge and have a limited budget) but my long range go to platform is an old Interarms Mark X with a McGowen barrel chambered for the 300 H&H how's that for old school? I figure if the cartridge won the Whimbleton Cup for Ben Comfort in 1935 it will do for now until funds improve. Funny thing about the H&H it doesn't kick nearly as much as my shooting buddie's 300WM and his rifle out weighs mine by two pounds. We shoot 180s out of both rifle and mine run about on average 100 - 75 fps slower but the difference in recoil is quite noticeable can anyone explain this? [/QUOTE]
