[QUOTE="300 Driver, post: 1280902, member: 91257"] For the ranges you mentioned, under 400 yds, most of the factory guns will work. The problem is that you will be limited by factory twist rates. There aren't any 1:8 twist factory barrels out there that I know of and that limits you less than 100gr bullets for the most part. The 87gr Berger, 85 game king, and 85 tsx all come to mind as good bullets for the ranges you mentioned. I'd recommend the Savage long range with the 1:9 twist. Try to stay away from the 1:10 twist guns. FOr what it's worth, I shoot a savage 10 that I replaced the barrel for a 1:8 twist barrel. I have shot whitetails from about 80yds to 540yds with the 105 Amax and none of them have moved more than 10 yds. Some may not agree, but this has been my experience. I really like the 243 Win for target and whitetail. [/QUOTE]
