    Yeah most carry big 300s of some sort but ironically the quickest kills I have personally seen were with a 308 and 7 rem mag.
    I almost lost one if not for a fluke in tracking, shots placed about 3 inches apart with a 300 short mag bang thru the shoulder. He managed to get close to 800 yrds from where shot on gps.
    I have no idea how it got that far. I am no vet or bullet wound expert but imo the projectiles did a perfect job and it should have fallen over a lot sooner considering the damage I noted when butchering it.
