RE: Frontal area vs. Velocity
I wouldn' t consider the REm. 300 ultra unless you want a gun that you won' t be able to find bullets for 3-5 years form now. i don' t think any of the new rem. rounds will be around long.
the most radical i' d get would be the WSM' s and they are not yet proven but more popular by many different gun makers.
go with the traditional rounds .338, .300
