[QUOTE="6072mc, post: 593734, member: 40332"] All three have the knockdown that is needed for the largest game I would ever shoot (elk - although I have no plans to hunt elk in the near future). My gut is telling me to get the 300wsm so I won't have to upgrade to a larger caliber later down the road. My brain is telling me to get something smaller because I don't need anything past 140gr's for oklahoma game and target shooting. Since all three will easily do what I am wanting (as someone else in this thread said), I will most likely pick one that is the fastest to get (meaning one that I can order and get delivered in a week) and costs the least in the savage model I am wanting. Best way to solve this dilemma I think? Does anyone use [URL="http://www.reloadersnest.com/rifle.asp"]this site[/URL] for reloading? Have been looking at velocities and energy there. Not sure how reliable the info is. PS. I have ordered online before for guns and use a local gun shops FFL for mail deliveries. They charge 10$ for it. [/QUOTE]
