Default RE: 300 WSM or 270 WSM

I have a 300WSM. Love it. It was a had to have type thing for me. Remington discontinuedthe rifle (700LSS) that I wanted, so I had to go ahead and get it before they were gone. I was shooting 150gr ballistic tips, at 300yds they were notconsistant (could hit a paper plate, just not as consistant as I would like to shoot deer). I stepped up to a 180gr and things got better, but with a price. The gun started kicking twice as bad, and I started flinching. So, I had a brake installed, barrel floated, and action bedded. Now its a tack driver. I am very comfortable shooting at 300 now, but I havent had the opportunity to practice further shots. I took a shot at a crow around 550 on the last day of the season but missed. I primarily hunt a powerline andcan shoot as far as I feel comfortable. How far are you wanting to shootthis thing?
