having hunted with a 308 for the first 33 years of my life, the 300 mag brought something diffrent to the hunt. I had my 300 custom built. I use 180 Barnes TSX @ 2929fs out of a 26 inch barrel.
the first time I downed something other than wart-hog it was an oryx. the old bull was standing alone and the bullet hit sqaure in the vitals from the side. I remember being very impressed with the effect that it had on the animal. it was in a word deadly. I use it on bigger game on long distances.[ not more than 350yards]
however I tend to use my 308 more.
over here, we only have guides if the hunter is looking for dangerous game and then pro hunter that does the guide will have to cary at least 375
