[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 81273, member: 3048"] Hi Echo, I have a Win Stealth in 300WSM (a calibre option not available in your country) which shoots 1/2 moa all day with handloads. I think it is an excellent choice of calibre. It will easilly do the business out to 1000+yds, even though it has slightly less capacity than the WinMag. I prefer this case over the 300 WinMag for its more efficient short design and absence of a belt, using 185grn Lapua Scenars i can just reach over the 3000fps mark. Unfortunately your savage is built on a short action and cannot be converted to 338 Lapua because it is a much longer cartridge. If a 338 is what you will be hankering for in the future i would reccomend one of the 300RUM based 338 wildcats which could be built on any Remington UltraMag action or magnum action with feed rail work. Brass is also much easier to obtain and much cheaper. Ian "I meant to shoot the pike but the duck got in the way" [/QUOTE]
