[QUOTE="winmag, post: 381880, member: 22166"] Well, where to start............ I have a 270wsm that I load for and it loads very well when I F/L size it and barely ''bump'' the shoulder.(finding the sweet spot with a redding dye is easy) Mine is in a Model-70 Winchester, and my C.O.A.L. is 2.915 with 140 gr Accubonds. Book max says 2.755(ya right) Even with my long coal, I still have room in my magazine. I also hold 3 + 1, in my Winchester. You may want to consider another ''brand of rifle'' thats more ''accomodating'' to shoot and load for. But IMO your on the right track with the 300 as far as caliber goes when Elk are in the mix and Long Range is an option. --not that others cant get it done, they can and will when shot placement is right, but if something goes wrong I personaly would rather have more ''oomph'' than not quite enough. I hope I didnt offend anyone. It was certainly not my intention. I just proof read my reply and it sounds a bit blunt. Sorry [/QUOTE]
