[QUOTE="gollygee, post: 1679091, member: 45069"] I had my first 300 WBY built for sheep hunting (Alaska) in the early 70's. My guide told me to bring a belted 30 caliber. He was right! I have rarely hunted with anything smaller since then. I encourage you to consider reloading (although I have very limited knowledge of factory offerings and accept that there have been huge improvements in factory offerings). All of the gun gurus will opine about the "ultimate" long range caliber but the 300 WBY is and has been the standard I judge them by. Over 500 yards is where I usually draw the line under field conditions. Perfect for the 300 WBY. There has been nothing "new" regarding calibers/cartridges in (at least) the last half century. Just marketing noise and nonsense. Optics are a whole different story. [/QUOTE]
