[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 63302, member: 8947"] Depending on the barrel, the win mag and the WSM are essentially the same. The win mag and larger cases look really good when barrels go long. Otherwise, you are making a lot of noise. For hunting 750yds and in on deer, I am using a 270 and 6.5-06. Some have successfully used a 308. An '06 or a gibbs would be more of a good thing. If you are only going to be in the 180gr range, you might want to consider the 7mm - 280 Rem and AI, 7WSM, and 7 Rem mag. Way more effecient bullets and much better wind buckers. On game performance would even be better then the 180gr WSM/win mag/Dakota because of increased retained velocity. A person I shoot with has a 280Rem and launches 168gr MK at 2900fps. I was shooting a 30 Gibbs with 165gr SST at 2950fps. Both chronied same day. At 750yds, the impact difference on my swinging gong was significant. The 7mm bullet left a noticeable dent/crater. The 165gr SST just took off the paint. Jerry [/QUOTE]
