[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1785925, member: 26535"] We will have to agree to disagree. I have lost count of how many animals I have killed or personally witnessed killed with VLDs and the 215 Hybrid is even more deadly. I have killed animals on three different continents with the 215 and most never take another breath after bullet impact. It is impossible to do better than that. I think what you meant to say is YOU PREFER different bullets because the fact is it just does not get better than that unless you are after dangerous game. If that is the case the Tikka most definitely is not the rifle to choose. Regardless of bullet choice it makes zero sense to shoot a small for caliber bullet in the year 2019. If you are picking a large for caliber bullet you will be limiting case capacity with the outdated 3.4" mag box period. By the time you get to a bullet that is not eating capacity in the 300WM in a 3.4" box you are in bullet weights that are available in a 7 rem mag. In that case the 7 rem mag will outrun the 300WM long range due to the higher bc of the 7 bullets. Once again if we were shooting at 200 yards who cares but this is a long range forum. [/QUOTE]
