[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 6460, member: 1403"] A couple things I forgot to mention. I didn't prrof read so please forgive me. I have a friend that has a 7 STW and shoots the 175g partition. With a full max load of H-1000 he is only getting 2850fps. His gun is a win model 70. That load should be pushing close to 3100fps. Also have another friend with a 7mm Rem mag and shoots 140's at 3000fps with a max load. From what I have seen with my 2 friends .284" bores is that they are getting 200fps shy of what the book is saying. Now that doesn't interest me one bit. Pretty much all you will have is a glorified heavy 30-06 with a 175 at 2850fps. Now to the .300. I have had a .300 Win in teh past for 2 years that I shot 2 elk at. The longer one was a spike bull at 525 yards. This was about 2 years ago and I did not know half the stuff I do now about ballistics and LR shoooting/hunting. I used a 180g partitions at 3025fps to take both elk with 1 shot each and both dropped dead before they hit the ground. Both were spike bulls and both were hit directly in the shoulder. Both 180g partitions exited. Plus I have loading experience still with the .300 because I load for my dads and my uncles exclusively and I stuck with the 165g Barnes XLC in them. THey shoot great, 1/2-3/4 at 100 yards and 3350fps. Also got the deviation down to 15fps. I am kinda in a moot point as to which to get. As of right now I am leaning towards the trusty .300 from my past experience, and from seeing what its done for my dad and uncle. And I know I can get the full velocity with a .300 Win. I also kinda want to try the STW or 7 Ultra with the 180g VLD becasue the ballistics are better for LR. Somebody lead me in the right direction here or I'll go crazy trying to decide which to get. Whatever I get, I will be getting them in a Remington sendero. Thanks [/QUOTE]
