[QUOTE="shortpants, post: 652244, member: 30564"] I would by the very best reloading equipment that I could afford and start developing those skills first. You mentioned elk and a 1000 yards in the same sentence so it's time to slow down and give this some thought. I believe your 300wsm. is a very capable and efficient choice so you might think of keeping with it. Bed the rifle, make sure the trigger is crisp, use a good scope that you have proven to be repeatable. These 3 things with some quality hand loads may just be all you need to reach your goals. If that doesn't quite get you where you want to be a quality barrel squared up to your action will work wonders for you. This is where you have to decide if you want to put that much into your current rifle or sell it and build off a Rem 700 or even a full custom, all depends on how much you got to burn. Take your time and ask lots of questions, your in the right place. As soon as I'm done paying for all my reloading stuff I'll be building a 300wsm on a long action with an extended mag. box so I can shoot the 210's-230's. I chose 300wsm over the big 7's like the 7stw because I like the much better barrel life. I plan on shooting this gun a lot. If that's not a big deal to you the 7stw is impressive. The 7wsm is another great choice. Hell there all good, it's hard to narrow it down. Best of luck!!! [/QUOTE]
