[QUOTE="GonzoK34, post: 1105206, member: 8915"] Agree with everyone on the 300RUM and 300WM. The key to the 300RUM is it's competitive with the 338 Lapua to a point. However, those heavy for caliber loads include significant recoil needing heavy duty recoil pads, long heavy barrels and it's wise to use a muzzlebreak. Cost to reload requires lots of powder and heavy for caliber bullets. That stated: Whatever floats your boat and your wallet. "Lessons Learned" from Afganistan by SOCOM teams clearly shows the need for portability in the sniper weapons system. You can only carry so much weight to the fight. With combat loads around 75-100lbs basic to each Team Member that **** REALLY SLOWS your tired ***. Blackhills Ammo has worked with the SEAL Teams in developing a 220gr Matchking round for the 300WM that is 150-200fps slower velocity and 100-200 ft lbs of energy less. BONUS the "Snake Eaters" can carry allot more whip *** in their Kits. What's not to like. Less recoil, much more useful in hunting of various size game and hunting environments. For shooting it's about practice, practice, and more practice. Shooting fundamentals take tremendous time to develop into muscle memory. Good Luck to all of you. SEMPER FIDELIS Gonzo [/QUOTE]
