That Win Mag is quick. I have seen other bullets disintegrate just leaving a flesh wound at closer ranges. Of course you are much more confident with a flat shooting round like that at distances over 300 yds. My .375H&H has a howitzer trajectory compared to the Win Mag, but if you do happen to hit something at 300, there will be very little meat damage, if any. I find with the big and slow 300gr bullet, I can aim just behind the shoulder and the animal will generally drop on the spot with just a little in and out hole through the ribs. The Barnes is the business in that respect.
