hey chief, ya im reloading for my 300wsm. i have a model 70 super shadow. i topped it off with leupold bases and rings. for optics i chose a ziess 3x9x40 conquest with the z-plex 600 reticle. if i could only own one hunting rig, that would be it. my bull last year was shot at 450 yds. i used...

good ol ted. right as rain as usual. love it.

the 7mm rem mag gives you better choices in bullet weights. i like the bc of the 7mm also. the 264 is a fine round no doubt.

270wsm. great round

you can also call the bulletsmiths at sierra. 800-223-8799. they will give you starting loads as well as max loads and the best powder for your application. theyve given me some great info.

well vino there are lots of great choices to choose from.winchester featherwieght, remington 700 mountain rifle, weatherby ultra light. kimber also makes a mountain rifle. i like your 300 wm as an all around cartridge. i know that some custom shops can build up a rig thats under 5 lbs.

welcome chief, nice looking bunch of rifles you have there. have you by chance shot your 300wsm. curious to hear your thoughts on the wsm cartridge. i too own a 300 wsm and i love it.
