[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 715045, member: 10832"] Welcome to LRH! Wow, starlings, sparrows, ground hogs, fox, squirrels, bunnies with a 300 Win Mag huh? Got to admit I have never heard of that! I would say this. If you think you are going to shoot mostly varmints and occasional deer, get a 6mm something. 243 Win is your best bet if you want to find factory loads. Be sure to get the right twist on your barrel so you can shoot the 105 weight range of bullets. If you are going to do mostly deer with occasional varmint then go 6.5, 260 Rem, 6.5x55, 6.5x47. Again I would go fast twist so you can shoot the 130-140 grain bullets but if you are only shooting to 4-500 yards the 100 grainers may work which would require a slower twist and may open up a light bullet that you could use for varmints as well. Good Luck! Scot E. [/QUOTE]
