[QUOTE="Pistol packer, post: 529502, member: 34702"] gonzo is spot on. couldnt agree with him more. have shot the 300 WM for 30 years, too. my first american centerfire rifle. i would never had a -06 or 308 in my battery, but as i get older i appreciate the more efficient cartridges, easier to load for, more inherently accurate and easier on brass, barrels, etc. that is why i would start all over again, i would go with the 300 WSM. No belt, much longer life on the brass, inherent accuracy (they get factory ammo to shoot almost as good as i get from reloads), great bullet selection, etc. all the benefits of the 300 but with no belt and easier to get to shoot. would have a long action tho. if money was no problem, i would get a 358 RUM. get specialty bullets made by berger in the 300-350 gr range. i knew a sniper in Nam who said that they used a 35 WM at the end of the war. made hits over 1400 yards faily regularly. would even beat the 338 edge out in BC and wind bucking abilities. no belt and a 358 on the jeffries or rigby case would be even better, or a shortened 50 BMG with a 358 or 416 specialty bullet would even be better. gun) [/QUOTE]
