[QUOTE="Newbweatherby, post: 1556867, member: 96297"] Yes I owned a .300 weatherby in a Remington,it was a pain to find ammo,so I started loading,which was a really touchy with the radiused shoulder .A bigger pain to get to shoot well but once dialed it was accurate,my youngest son bought a Winchester stainless model 70 in .300 rum and everything we loaded shot sub .75" at worst and Maoist groups under .50 @100 yards,so I ditched my 30 year old Remington and for fathers day my 3 sons pitched in got me Remington .700 stainless sps ,I mounted a muzzle brake so recoil is not a factor.Ive one. 243 and.270 (now over 37 years) and a 7mm Rem mag. So now the reason is to learn long range precision shooting,and God willing I've dreamed to hunt elk as a teenager,now with accumulative issues from having type 1 diabetes over 47 years and knee replacements I will be applying for a elk tag this year as o may never be able to make it if I wait much longer.So I wanted a cartridge that with the right bullet be able to drop a horse sized elk.That and as my hikes are getting shorter and shorter every year ,and not physically able to walk as far and get as close s I used to and my shots have become longer,I want the round to have enough ke when it reaches the target ,to humanely drop and deer,my last shot was out over 468 yards,Of course bullet placement and the right bullet being priority .
