Yes, .300 Mags are great for 600-800yd shots, if the shooter is capable. A buddy of mine who had attended the USMC Scout/Sniper course at Quantico impressed his game guide on Kodiak Island with his Remmy Sendero in .300 Win Mag. I think he took his first shot at an Elk at 500 yds, when the guide doubted his ability...insta-drop. "Hey, try that one out der...!" 700 yds, 800 yds...drop, drop. He was dialing his elevation and windage per his dope, and making first-round hits over and over, or so the story goes. He was a straight-shooter character-wise, and one of the best NCO's I ever worked with.
.300 WM and WSM is a bit overkill at close distances...more recoil and velocity than needed to get that job done.
