As for bear, use a good bullet and put it where it counts.

If you flinch with a .300WM you are going to flinch with a 30-06.

Re: Scored a hunting trip. What rifle

My Uncle was not a “shooter”, he was an avid “hunter”. He always used loads off the shelf with nothing consistent in mind. He had great success with any hunting bullet of any brand in 180, 200 and 220 grain bullets .

Re: Scored a hunting trip. What rifle

With a .338 WM may friend has taken white tail, mulies, caribo, moose, elk, grizzly and his grand slam of sheep. My Uncle has killed over 100 elk, black bear, mulies and white tail with his .300 WMs.....he has gone three of them.

Re: Scored a hunting trip. What rifle

I would not buy any type of wildcat or specialty caliber. You want a caliber which has ammo readily available if something should happen to yours.

Re: Scored a hunting trip. What rifle

Of the two I’d take a 30.06. I have two friends who are serious North American big game hunters. One swears by the.300WM , the other the .338 WM. I’m talking $60,000 for a Big Horn sheep and up to $10.000 for an Elk.
