[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2815426, member: 94556"] I agree with the 300WSM, but to maximize its effect I suggest using a Badlands 195 gr BD2 bullet in a 1:10 twist 24” barrel and load these to 2850 fps. It’s G1 BC is 0.675 and being all copper will perform better than any lead core bullet in terms of reliability of expansion and penetration. At standard sea level conditions it still retains over 1100 ft/lbs of energy. Performance is even better at 4000 ft and above. Would recommend a 3.2 inch action. Short actions limit its potential significantly [/QUOTE]
