[QUOTE="One Hole, post: 1345654, member: 90934"] I've been shooting a full custom borden alpine mag in 300 wsm for 10 years and love it. 7lbs 3ozs with a swaro z6 3-18. 22" Hart #3 with borden brake, McMillan rem hunter stock, jewel trigger. shoots 165/168 gn barnes TSX or TTSXs with H4350 at 3125 fps sub .5 moa. You could build a lower cost version of this using a trued 700SA, custom barrel and mcmillan ultralight. Norma does make 300WSM brass. Currently available at midwayusa. Honestly my first 100 rounds were custom handloads using win brass and they shot great. The Norma brass is more consistent in weight. Beware of short actions and wsms. Probably want an extended magazine, good extractor and keep your COLs short. For black bear, elk, deer out to 500yds there's no need for than a quality 168gn bullet in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
