[QUOTE="shifty06, post: 781595, member: 66296"] Thanks guys for the responses. all with great ideas. the problem with the 300 WSM is that they can be necked down but it also read somewhere (accurate shooter.) it has to be fire formed. I like the switch barrel idea but the problem I have with that is that it seems (flimsy) and I am sure they are not just kinda haunts me with getting the barrel in the same depth headspace wise, and would it have a effect on the load I developed. I'm not sure how these work never been around one before. Would like more info on this please. or pointed in the right direction. thanks. down side to 300WSM is that it is not a economical cartridge at 65-70gr. of powder. and barrel life is not much better than the 7mm. I also like the idea of the .308 lots of barrel life for me to develop several good loads. big game to varmints. bullets everywhere for it. and If i happen to be somewhere and loose my ammo im sure i can find it (well maybe not now). And lots of trigger time with it burning half the powder the WhiSuM's do, and about 2 times the barrel life of the 300. Thanks for all the great info and advise keep it coming. Please. EDIT: I have been looking at the 6.5x47 lapua and 6.5 Creedmoor but I have heard that the 6.5x47 gave excellent barrel life. not sure on the 6.5 but assume it would be about the same. havent found any loading data on the 6.5x47 yet.
