[QUOTE="ralphjunius, post: 2514789, member: 40280"] Of your choices 300WSM easily the best choice and very adequate. Get it with a Winchester M70 action that Winchester 300WSM's come with and you can seat bullets out as far as practical, well over 3 inches. It shoots 180 grain bullets just as fast as the 300WM, but looses 100fps with 200g bullets that really are not needed. Plus if a reloader you don't have to deal with the belt. Just need to make sure that sharp 35 degree shoulder feeds and ejects. That said, I recommend you be decisive and just go with a 338WM with 210g or 225g bullets. Much more versatile caliber. Go with Barnes, Swift, Woodleigh, Tipped Trophy Bonded, Federal Assent or other tough bullet with either caliber where hitting bone is a non-issue. [/QUOTE]
