i like barnes bullets as well. great weight ret. and expansion and penitration. i culd have gotten the 300wsm in the mod 7 also but i have had such great success w/ the 350 and i like the bigger bore and more frontal area then the 300s. plus i lie the little bit slower velocity. max distance for any shot up here is about 100 yds. i dont use scopes either. they are all iron sighed or peeps.
