    Re: Would appreciate thoughts on \"having it all\" to 600 yards. 300saum and 300wsm Can and will handel elk out to 600yds. I have not taken elk at 600yds mind you but have taken a 6x6 bull at 575yds in 2004. I shoot rocks out to 600yds often during the off season.Have a blast doing that...

    Thinking about a Magnum Rifle

    A guy I know in Idaho that killed a 373B&C Bull Elk with 87gr Hornady bullets out of a 25-06Rem this past season. I think the bullet weight should when it comes to elk hunting have a higher weight limit. Say at least a 100gr game bullet and not a 87gr varmit bullet. The guy is to lazy to resight...

    Anyone shooting the 300Rem.S.A.Ultra Mag.

    Wyo,maybe so in your case.It was my first post on the forum and I get three or four people putting down the 300saum. I never asked anyone what they thought about the 300saum,I really don't care. I was just glad to be here.So if that makes me an A-hole so be it. Thanks Outlaw

    Does Long Range have to be long distance?

    1894, sounds like a long shot to me with the low light and such. Sounds like a very good shot as it was. I'am just a hunter and have taken shots from close range 5-15yds out to 300-400yds as need be in the past 44 years of hunting. This past year I have been shooting alot with a 300saum...

    Thinking about a Magnum Rifle

    Mine well be,the reason I have a 300wsm is that I can have a lighter and handier rifle then if I wanted a rifle in 300win mag. I have a Tikka SS Syn in 300wsm it has a 24 3/8 inch barrel and weighs 7 1/2lbs with a 4x12 Leupold scope and with my handloads it shoots under 2in groups at 300yds...

    Long Range Deer and Groundhog combination Rifle

    H&F,Just a thought, how about the 25wssm? It a short action preforms like a 25-06rem or better out preforms the 243ackley and still has anuff at 500-600yds to work on deer. Outlaw.

    Favorite "light" rifle.??

    Picked up a Tikka T3 in 300wsm at 6.6lbs before scopeing, it nice to carry and shoots very well. A very nice carry gun and shoots 2inch groups at 300yds.Outlaw

    26" vs 28" in a 300WSM

    I've got a Tikka SS Syn T3 in 300wsm it's a 11 twist 24 3/8 inch barrel, shoots 165 gr HPBT's into 2inch groups @300yds. Just got it for xmas,have'nt had much chance to do more with it. I'm just a 600yd shooter and would like to try the 175gr HPBT's with that 500 BC. My only other rifle for...

    Long range coyote rifle?

    I have used everything, almost!I would go with the 25-06 Rem and be done with it. 3400fps with 100gr loads with IMR4831. Have taken deer at over 600yds and coyotes over 500yds. Outlaw

    Anyone shooting the 300Rem.S.A.Ultra Mag.

    Thanks guys, but there's really not a dimes bit of differance between the two at least that any deer or elk would know about or could tell. And yes the WSM was first and will out sell the RSM which is the under dog but it will do eveything the WSM will and if it dosen't its so close it dosen't...

    Anyone shooting the 300Rem.S.A.Ultra Mag.

    I picked one up last 5th of July and have shot this past summer out to 600yds. This fall I took a nice 4x4 mule deer@265yds, and a 6x6 bull elk @ 575yds. I have done some reloading but took the game with 165gr factory loads. Cronyed at 2975-3000fps only, handloads about the same. Thinking of...

    Long range coyote rifle?

    Go with the 25-06 it will beat the 243 Ackley Improved hands down. I have both I get about 3100fps with 100gr bullets in the 243 Imp. 3400fps with same weight in the 25-06. What ever turns your crank, Outlaw.
