[QUOTE="sdkidaho, post: 310777, member: 19932"] I think that probably sums it up fairly well. While looking through ammo prices yesterday they were a bit more as mentioned but not so much as to make it unattainable. I had actually been looking at two others made by Federal, so that makes me feel better as far as being on the right track. 300 WSM P300WSMD 150 Nosler Ballistic Tip Vital-Shok $39.97 300 WSM P300WSMJ 180 Barnes MRX Vital-Shok $63.00 Their stats were a bit different on their site: [URL="http://www.federalpremium.com/products/rifle.aspx"]Federal Premium - Rifle Ballistics[/URL] The Barns MRX had a little better stats than the Nosler AccuBond, but they were also quite a bit more pricey. What is driving this whole thing is the chance to possibly go wolf hunting. Being from Alaska (I assume), what loads do you recommend for such? Thanks again guys - I think you've convinced me on the 300 WSM as far as caliber goes. I still really like the Weatherby though. Is the Howa action something to really shy away from? I liked the feel of the Weatherby, and at that price I figured I would able to buy a scope that cost as much as the gun, if not a little more. [/QUOTE]
