[QUOTE="D.P., post: 110371, member: 2541"] Slopeshunter 1-It's a great long range cartridge. 2-A long way, depends on your ability. You could easily double your longest shot. 3-what grain bullet, like BH said I would go with the the min SAAMI for a hunting rifle and did. I shoot a 175 SMK out of a short action Rem with an HS box and can just touch the lands. For elk you can't go wrong with a 180 AB. 4- 24 or 26" I dont think the animal will know. I went with a 25" just because I could. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] As for trigger, a tuned rem trigger is all I have ever needed on a hunting rifle. 3# for all conditions (cold hands etc) It's a great cartridge, and I think you would be happy with it. If it's a custom build, speck it out the way you want, and keep as much weight as you feel comfortable with. My 300 WSM will remain in the front row of my safe. [/QUOTE]
