[QUOTE="longgun505, post: 2942840, member: 116648"] I would never try to sway anyone toward or away from a direction they want to follow. For me the 300 WSM was ‘IT’ for me. I’ve owned quite a few, factory and custom. I am currently building on a Win 70 CRF Stainless, an 8.5 twist 24” Rock Creek Carbon, and Nosler brass is my choice. This Rifle will be throated for 210 Bergers. Just prepped all brass and loads this week. I shot a former colleagues gun in almost exact the configuration last year, making small rocks out of big rocks at 1200 yards. I am quite impressed with this particular, caliber and cartridge setup. For me, a lightweight rifle for hunting in mountainous terrain, or across the coolies of eastern Montana is an extremely hard combination to beat. I have always been someone who is not so much a cartridge fan, more a projectile fan. Ballistics, after all, is a three-way game. Internal, external, and terminal. The latter is most important for me. A cartridge is merely a suitcase for that projectiles journey.
