[QUOTE="DanielLudwig, post: 1031839, member: 4675"] I know alot of guys probably think this is a stupid question and I'm some Noob. I get it. I built what I thought was the rifle I needed for how I hunt, its a Custom 300Wby on a 700 action, throated for 208 Amax's which it pushes @3050 from a 28.5" barrel. Its a helluva gun, but it doesn't really fit how I hunt, now I understand that. I want a rifle under 10lb that points fast and hits hard and shoots as flat as possible within the realm where 90% of my shooting takes place, which is 250-500yds. I want to be able to use mil's and hold over within that range. I have good optics now and understand how to dial up and shoot at medium distances, beyond about 800 I play hell but thats my flaw, not my equipment's. I'm just trying to evolve and realize what is going to be most practical for me. As for bullets I agree that the SMK isn't the best choice, I kind of wondered about the 130 Berger Match Classic Hunter. [/QUOTE]
