.300 WM is a great round for sure. I think its probably the most versatile big round when you look at all the aspects. IF I ever felt the need for something big, that is what I would get. As it is, my .280 with handloads will work perfectly on anything I'll likely ever hunt, including Elk. Post it up when you get it... :D

.338 WM if I in bear country - period.


Want the .270 for deer exclusively and the .300 for elk.


BTW - Always look for your posts also ! :happy0001:

:biggrin:

Man I am afraid to list em all....my wife might accidentally see this post... :busted:

I have a 7MM...haven't shot it in ages, great round and flat as Kansas! I have really fallin in love with my 270 WSM...flat, fast, accurate and easy on the shoulder!

Any suggestions?

My favorite open country elk rifle is a stainelss M700 with a Douglas 26" barrel chambered in .300 WM. I have another one with the 24" factory barrel that is a very good shooter. Both of these rifles have VX3 4.5x14 scopes, and shoot the 180 Nosler Partition better than any all copper bullets.

I find that the synthetic stocks are very nice to have on an elk rifle if you are going to a completely different enviornment for the hunt (VT to CO for example).

If weight isn't an issue, gotta love a 700 Sendero... An All-class All-weather with style for miles...

I pulled the trigger on a Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 300 Win Mag. Looking forward to receiving it and found it for a great price, $506 delivered!

Nice I am sure you will enjoy it. I have shot the .300 a lot great cartridge.
Handload full house reloader 22 and a 180 Nosler Partition and Bingo. Meat in the freezer! Always worked best for me.
I sold mine and now use a 300 wsm when appropriate I am very happy with it.
