[QUOTE="pburton, post: 890334, member: 48978"] I really hope that the factory barrel will work out for me. At least for now. And realistically I will probably be keeping the range around 500 yards. Although in all my years of elk hunting I have never killed one over 350 yards. Nor have I ever shot at one over that distance. A majority of them have come in ranges where I could have killed them with a .223. I did have one last year in Idaho that was at around 650 that I passed because I did not feel comfortable with the shot. And was concerned that my 7mm rem mag with 160gr accubonds was not quite enough at that range. This is the main reason for me buying the .300wsm. Hoping for a little more energy down range. Although as we speak my 7mm rem mag is at the gunsmith turning into a STW. So hopefully the next time that 6x6 330+ class bull walks out at 650 I will not hesitation about squeezing the trigger. Thank you to everyone for all the input. It has helped me decide a direction. [/QUOTE]
