[QUOTE="X-man, post: 795695, member: 8416"] First off...Whoever said the 300 Win is not accurate needs his head examined. Jezuz really? Go here. [url=http://www.pa1000yard.com/wo/woresults.php?year=2012&cls=Light+Gun&mat=1&sortby=Group&tops=Yes&topct=All&send=Submit]World Open Relay Results[/url] Then search the heavy class. Search for the top winners and scores...What do you see BESIDE the 300Winchester,308 Baer, and 300 Ackley BELTED magnums?? Yes the 6mmbr, 6.5-285 are superbly accurate target rounds, but you can't shoot elk at 1000 with them so they are useless for this application. These are the best 1000 yard benchrest shooters on the planet and if some of them (to include Bruce Baer) choose belted magnums it is good enough to hunt with. I recently entered a challenge that asked for 5-5 shot groups at 300 yards that were under 0.5MOA. It took 3 tries, but my 300Win made the cut. Of all the loud mouth idiots talking about 1/4 MOA rifles they owned none (ZERO) could produce that sort of accuracy. Of the many that tried the competition only 8 of us made it...Lots of target rounds failed too. Recoil is not an issue if you put a brake on the rifle. I vote for the 338 Edge or 338 Lapua. If you want a 30 Cal my vote is for the 300Win or 300Wby improved (308 Baer). [/QUOTE]
