[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 324491, member: 12"] Liltank I would not go with a 30" or over in the WSM in a carry hunt gun. Not sure it is needed. We have run 210s at 3050 in 30s. I would think that a 28" would be plenty unless you are just wanting every fps you can get. They have discovered you need to be careful which barrel you select for the Hornadys. They are fatter and do not like the tighter bores that are not true .308 such as Broughtons (.3075). They do like Harts for sure which are true .308). Last I knew Tim North at Broughton was working on a .308 button. I would go with either the 1-11 or even the 1-12. Jim Hardy in NC has a 1-12 comp gun that has shot 10 shot groups of 3.XXX at 1000 with 210s. 1-11 is safe for sure though. JLK and Berger both run 190s (.600+) and 210s (.640+) and JLK has a new 210 LTBT that is .680 plus. I am running 168s TTSXs at 3250 so pretty sure I can reach any deer I want to hit. Like I said, not sure you need to go over 180 or so for deer. BH [/QUOTE]
