[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2575558, member: 27307"] Just like everyone else, the 4 cartridges you names will be more than sufficient to harvest your game at the distances needed, even beyond 500 yards. A point to make though is the fact that a standard .30-06 Springfield cartridge loaded with a 210 gr. Hunting style bullet is fully capable of the same performance. No, it's not different or unique but simply a plain Jane common garden variety hunting cartridge. The parameters you state do not require a Super Magnum cartridge or even a Magnum cartridge. But I digress... Lighter and shorter is something I've been working with for the last year. The WSM cartridges, with appropriately designed bullets, perform admirably in shorter barrels and lighter set ups. I've worked with the .300 WSM, 7mm WSM and the wildcat 6.5 WSM, seeing excellent results even when limited to 20-22" barrels. One is chambered in a 20" barrel using a suppressor. The RSAUM cases will handle your parameter easily also. Granted, the remaining energy at 1,000 yards is reduced from that of the WSM but when hunting in the neighborhood of 500 yards, you have it made. The reduced recoil when compared to those Super Magnums is more acceptable. If you really want something off the beaten path, look at the 6.5 Weatherby RPM cartridge. No it's not a .30 or .338 caliber cartridge but the performance is terrific, it just need a long action. If you absolutely have to have a .30 caliber cartridge, I run the .300 Norma Mag. and the .300 Weatherby Mag. The Weatherby is a long time favorite but it is slowly being replaced with the .300 Norma Mag. The .338 Norma Mag. is the next best cartridge for bigger and further. My 7mm-300 Norma Mag. is nearing the last of the testing phase. Enjoy the process! :) [/QUOTE]
