[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 684885, member: 30902"] There's really nothing you can't do and do very well with the 06 out to at least 600yds. The .300wsm will do it faster, flatter, and a bit further by comparison. I can't imagine a situation where in our lifetimes one would not be able to find a steady supply of ammo for the 06. Personally if I were buying any factory ammo I'd buy a few boxes, see what shoots well in my gun, and then buy a full case of the same lot number. That way I don't have to worry about being away on a hunt and not able to get what I need. As for the availability of the 300wsm in the future? I think it's gained enough popularity to last but ammo for it will probably always be more expensive than for the 06. Personally I'd go with the 300wm (ammo will always be around for it too) or 300wsm because I'm a bit of a speed freak, but the 06 will certainly meet your needs. If you are buying factory ammo, buy online and buy in bulk and then you don't have to worry about it. As for rifle choices as always I'd go with the 700 Remington or the Model 70 Winchester. They are the two most popular and reliable bolt actions on the market for a reason and for all of those reasons there will always be a great aftermarket parts availability for them. [/QUOTE]
