How different is that from a 308 Norma Mag?

 

[IdahoCTD]

The Norma is slightly longer but probably less than 25fps difference in the real world.

 

[1100 Remington Man]

Just one .264 Win Mag Nosler 130gr AB.

Know chicken ridge for caribou very well.

Chicken Stock a miniature version of Woodstock every year with bands from Canada and US. Very cool event to go too.

Guy,
Can't ask for a better shot opportunity...close and quartering away!

 

[DrMike]

They are lovely animals. Definitely photogenic, as Guy demonstrates.

I'm waiting for you to show us how you skin them pictures. Dan.

I'd guess like everything else, but I've never hunted caribou. Saw a few in Canada and Alaska. They're pretty terrific.

300 win mag, 180gr E tip at 300 yards. One of the guys I was with used the same ammo at 350 yards, the other used a 140gr AccuBond in a 7mm Rem Mag at 500 yards. We didn't look for longer shots, but each group of caribou was moving away from us when we got in range. All dropped with 1 shot, although I put a second in mine when he kicked a bit. He was right by water and I wanted him down on the bank.
