Pretty amazing to read these words from that man in 1939. I'm sure Foster will agree....

Hi Ricardo. I assume he was referring to the 300 H&H Magnum, since the 300 Win Mag wasn’t introduced until 1963. An interesting bit of nostalgia, but he was probably talking about MPBR with a rifle zeroed 3 inches high at 100 yards. If I remember right, Nathan did a video demonstrating a 900 yard shot with a 30-06. O’Conner didn’t have a 25X scope, range finder, or a ballistics calculator.
