[QUOTE="diriel, post: 526526, member: 26983"] There is a lot to be said for the long range capability of the 300wm. Hornady has a new 225gr bullet out for it that has a doppler measured G7 B.C. of .336. It packs a solid whallup WAY out there. Dave Tooley seems to have a lot of really solid information on it. Load it up with H1000 and away you go. That savage LRH looks pretty good. By the way, even with a good muzzle brake, a heavy bullet 300wm full house load will still let you know you just squeezed one off. :) In all honesty...especially if i were going to shoot prone, and off of a bi-pod, I would make sure my rifle weight was at least 16lbs, with a nice long HEAVY barrel. Think #7 or there abouts @ 26" or even 28". I guess what I am trying to say, you might want to build one, instead of grabbing one off the shelf. For instance, Stock Fit and Length of Pull, cheek weld for the scope setup you will run all make a HUGE difference in true long range shooting. If you are getting beat bloody, you will likely not do your best. The good news is, there are some really great smiths, and Long Range shooters on this board. Maybe 1 or 2 of them will jump in and offer up some solid advice. Have a good one, Gary [/QUOTE]
