[QUOTE="liltank, post: 421760, member: 13275"] Don't let the belt scare you. A lot of people load and shoot it quite successfully. I saw one guy competing with one shooting 180 SMK's at Williamsport 1000yrd comp. Not sure how he did, but he was a long time shooter of the caliber and has had good luck with it. A sniper instructor that I know uses one and is very accurate out to 1500yrds. Much beyond that and you are pushing its ballistics. The other option would be the 7mmRM and STW. Both great performers for long range without as much abuse as the 300. As far as for the woman, I would think the 260 Rem, 6.5x47 Lapua, or even the 243 would fill the bill. Any of these calibers will perform admirably to 1000 and 600-800 depending on velocity for deer hunting (accept the 243 for hunting). The 243 even with a heavy bullet will work to 600, but some argue that is a little much for the 243. Though if you look around, our Brit brothers across the pond have had great luck with 87grn V-max to 700 yards with Roe deer. So those are my suggestions. Tank [/QUOTE]
