[QUOTE="straightshooter, post: 470568, member: 9775"] buckand bull, 600 yards is starting to get out there. At those ranges you will want the most accurate load, with a good bc, and have the bullet construction to do the job once it gets there. When I had a 300wm I also shot the 180grn Hornady sst. I used them for everything from whitetail to elk, my rifle loved them and I was pleasantly surprised with the performance. The sst has a good bc, so if you are getting the accuracy with them now, I think they will be just fine for what you need. Now after saying that, I want to suggest to you, if you plan to take any shots past 300 yards, you seriously consider getting into reloading. It is possible to cut your groups in half, and save up to 50% on the cost of some calibers. You will get to know your rifle better, and you can tailor several loads for your specific needs. I am the biggest advocate for reloading out here. If you need any help getting started just pm me. [/QUOTE]
