All three have the knockdown that is needed for the largest game I would ever shoot (elk - although I have no plans to hunt elk in the near future). My gut is telling me to get the 300wsm so I won't have to upgrade to a larger caliber later down the road. My brain is telling me to get...

Oh really... a customer order you say, you guys are killin me. So then what should it be... 6.5x284 , 7mm wsm , 300 wsm ? If I am understanding this all correctly heavier bullets buck the wind better and have better ballistic coeffecients than lighter bullets, correct? causing them to have...

I got too involved in looking at factory ballistics again I think and trying to min/max. I want the savage rifle (12 VLP back on page 2 of this thread) and savage doesn't offer a 7mm wsm in any model, so im staying with the 300 wsm. Will make sure to post back once I get the rifle and let you...

Just out of curiosity what are the starting costs for reloading? Is it cheaper to buy allot of rounds of the internet or make allot yourself? When I say allot of rounds I am talking about enough to last for a year of shooting as I obviously wouldn't want to keep ordering online each month, you...

Hello, This is my first time posting here and I am needing a little help with a new rifle purchase. A little about myself and what I am looking for might help in this process. First off I have been shooting firearms in one form or another most of my life. Over the course of my teenage years...
