[QUOTE="270winshort, post: 537342, member: 6471"] I have a buddy of mine that has a 300 wsm, it didn't like the 180 bergers so we went to the 168's, it shoots 3/8" groups at 100 yards and last year in wyoming he shot a 175 plus muley at 1048 yards and the year before that he shot a whitetail in montana at 850 yrds, he is pushing the 168's at 3160 fps, so I think the 300wsm is plenty I would not go with the 300 rum as you really need about a 34" barrel to burn all that powder, I built my son a 7WSM and we shoot the 180 bergers at 3005 fps I would go with the 7wsm , you have a lot more high bc bullet choices, I built my sons rifle off a howa long action so that we could seat the bullets out and still have them fit in the mag [/QUOTE]
