Only ever killed two past 200 yards here, too. One of my sons killed one at the 324 mark quite a few years ago. The vast majority of shots here are between hard off the muzzle to about 200. Usually if the deer is past 300 yards, it's fairly easy to close the gap to 200 or so. Once you get past 300, range estimation down to the yard is critical for sure hits. If you know how far certain landmarks are from your watch, you are fine. If you are hunting unfamiliar land and don't have a range-finding scope or a separate range finder. You are asking for trouble taking long shots. Wind is another factor that becomes big at longer ranges, too.
When I was selling guns, I took a 7mm mag. in trade. I shot it for a while before re-selling it. I really liked the caliber. Very accurate rifle and definitely more thump at 300+ yds than the 06. One of my sons has a Remington .300 Ultra Mag. That thing is like a 7 mm. mag. after drinking a 5 gal. bucket of steroids. Expensive to shoot (case holds about a hat-full of powder) and more of a special use gun. Not much of an all-around rifle. It is fun to shoot, though.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
