I was lucky enough to draw a Utah Mountain Goat tag this year. However I am new to reloading and I don't rifle hunt a lot any more. I would if I could draw more tags. Anyways, I inherited my wife's grandpa's reloading equipment a few years ago and have had some fun reloading. I have been...

Enter Me In The Gunwerks Auto Reset Target Contest

I have been looking into some different 300 wsm. But I am noticing that everything comes with a 24" barrel. Do they make it with a 26". How much does the barrel length effect ballistics?

Wow, that is the exact information I have been looking for. Someone who has both rifles. Based of that information I think the 300 WSM would work just fine. What are my chance of buying a gun off shelf that has the ability to shoot 800 yards? I know a lot of it depends on me, but I don't want...

Thanks for your help, as I get close I will look for more help. Once again thanks for all the information from everyone.

Thank you for all the feed back. I live in Utah at 7000 ft above sea level and elk hunt a 8-10000 ft. so I need to do some more research on the best caliber. I am not apposed to the 300 WSM. Just most of the guys around here have recommended the 300 RUM. I agree that practice with the rifle...

I agree with you totally. I guess I am concerned with hitting a bull elk on the tip of the shoulder and not being able to break him down. A gut shot is a poor shot even at close range the animal has a good chance of running off and making recovery difficult.

Thanks for everyone's help. I get a little confused. On this site and many other everyone recommends the Savage. If I go into a store or a custom gun shop they are all leading me back towards the Remington. My two main hunting rifles are Remington 700's 270 Mountain Rifle and a 22-250 ADL...

Okay, I have posted to this site one other time and you guys were great. So I am looking for more great opinions. I previously was looking to buy a long range rifle finished, but like many, the economy has took a beating to the wallet. After much debate I thought it would actually be more fun...

Thank you for everyone's imput. It sounds like the 338 is the most popular. As for the Africian questions. More than likely it will just be a plains game hunt. And truthfully I may just take my bow, that is if I even get to go with today's economy. But I was under the impression I would be...

Thanks for the advice, yes I do reload. However, the problem is I am not a technical guy at all. I get bored to fast reading information, I wish I didn't. I have thought about a 338 ultra, but I only weight 160 lbs. So weight of the gun is an issue. When I hunt it is not uncommon to hike...

Hey Guys, Congratulation! I read many forums, but I have never felt the need to post. This will be my first. I have been thinking about buying or building a long range rifle for awhile but I am not sure were to start. I have spent time talking to the many different company like Best of the...
