[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2359978, member: 60453"] I don't really disagree with you on any point, but I already have around 1,000 300 Win Mag casings, two highly accurate Remington 700's and at least three loads for powders that I have 10 or 15 lbs of each. And I can find good once-fired brass at the public ranges where I sometimes shoot. I have found that most of the deer/elk hunters around me here in Texas and in Colorado where I am normally don't reload and a lot of them do shoot 300 win mags. I can and do get their brass at opportunity for free. I think that brass availability becomes mute if you can get once-fired brass at the range. I don't go above 200 grains in the 300 or any of my -06's only because I don't like the extra recoil. I've never had a problem with the performance of either the 200 grain Sierra or the 200 grain Speer, and I haven't had the privilege of hunting big bear, although I'd use my Whelen for that anyway. A 200 grain bullet will pretty much do any job I want out to around 1,000 yards. I'm biased. I just don't want to buy another set of reloading dies, brass, heavier bullets that I can't use in anything other than the 300 or the 300 PRC, a rifle in another caliber and basically get the same performance. I'd really like a Remington Long range, though, or preferably three, in 25-06, 30-06 and 300 Win Mag. I'm already set up for them.
