How often while hunting were you using a .300 Win mag and you could have gotten by just fine with a .30-06?

How often, while hunting, have you leaned your rifle up against a tree or fencepost (after carefully unchambering the cartridge if you carry with a hot chamber), slipped off your pack, sat down, taken a ham sandwich out of your pack and began to enjoy a quick lunch only to have an enormous buck/bull crest the ridge across the valley less than 300 yards away at the exact moment you have begun masticating that first bite?
How often while hunting have you gone deep into the woods and forgot to bring the number one, most important item for hunting and had to cut your underware into pieces to wipe??

A friend in MN sat down for lunch with his back to a fenceline and a buck jumped the barb wire behind him. He said the buck landed beyond his feet, said the buck's shadow covered him up. He said he heard the buck grunt when he landed and the wire sliding through the staples on the fenceposts. He was so surprised he didn't get a shot.

I was J------ o-- several years ago, heard a grunt up real close and a buck was standing a few feet away watching me. I was bowhunting so all I could do was try to scoul him to death

That's why you always eat the sandwich w/ your rifle still loaded and laying in your lap .

What's that saying they made us memorize in basic - "This is my weapon, this is my gun, this is for killing, this is for fun"
Your timing was off so you couldn't shoot him with your gun?

that you are using whatever super bullet could you of just used a nosler partition and got by just fine?[/b]
Am I wrong, or are there people out there these days who no longer consider the Nosler Partition bullet to be a premium projectile?? Why? Because it costs less than some of the newer ones? If there are I have news for you!
The Nosler Partition bullet will do anything any of the newer, mre expensive "premium bullets" will do!

I use a lot of Nosler Partitions, but will admit that most of the shots I've taken with them could just as easily have been accomplished with a Corelokt. And the new bonded Corelokts would be even bwtter.....
