re: ideal 300 magnum

There's lotsssssss of people out there toting a .300 win mag with a night force scope who can barely hit a dart board at 300 off of a shooting bench and think they're capable at 500 out of a tripod in the middle of a cutover.

I consider myself pretty good at killing stuff, and beyond 300 yards isn't anything I'd try with my .30-06 unless I had time and a VERY good prop.

Much less, a .30-505 at a mile off a backpack and with 50% throat erosion every time I touched the trigger
