[QUOTE="Power, post: 998801, member: 1759"] 300 WSM hand loads with 165g Accubond. Shooting from my Sako Finnlight 85SM. Only 6.5# rifle sans scope and ammo. Topped with a Zeiss 4.5-14x44 Conquest scope. Love that scope, so bright and clear. Rifle weighs the same as the wife's 270 Win Browning A-bolt though kicks as hard as she does. Since most of my time is carrying the rifle and not shooting it I don't even notice when it goes off, except after 20+ rounds off the bench at the range, then I don't like it that much. Used to poke my elk with a 7mm RM but wanted something a tad bigger since we have some good size black bear where we hunt. Sure, 7mm or even 243 will kill just fine but having a little more gives you some leeway when the shot angle isn't as good as you hope. [/QUOTE]
