[QUOTE="notyounganymore, post: 1888019, member: 114023"] I guess I'm not sure what "healthy discussion" means. I have read every post. Multiple times. I am not smart enough in this realm to have a comeback for everything. And you know what they say about opinions...I don't disagree with any opinion, even if I don't necessarily agree. Yes, I want the do-it-all gun. No, it is not a wolf protection gun while bowhunting, it is a semi-long range elk and bear gun that is packable, and I live in a wolf area. So no, I don't want a smaller cartridge. Yes, several 'smiths have told me that a 20" 7mmRM will do well, even long range (in fact, a reputable company you all know well in the industry even suggested a 7mmRM at 20", saying the newer cartridges will burn well before then end of the barrel), but I sure as hell would never say that they have the answers more than all of you do. That's why I ask the question. I DO believe in technology advancing. I like my carbon bow, and I like my carbon bikes, and I want a high bc bullet that will kill what I want it to, and maybe even ring some steel or have some fun even further. So yes, I have been looking at the short actions more now, 6.5prc, 7wsm, 300wsm, 7saum, 300rcm, 338...But I have to have factory ammo choices, and they have to do BETTER than a 7mmRM. I am NOT saying these won't cuz again, I ain't smart enough to know that just yet. That's why I am asking...and listening and reading. Am I asking too much? Absolutely I am. So just like in everything else...I try to maximize gains and limit losses. So I apologize if "healthy discussion" should mean I have a comeback to all messages. But if I don't have at least basic facts to back up my opinion, I will keep it to myself, for the most part. Again, thank you all for the great suggestions. I am reading...and taking tylenol for headaches from overthinking. [/QUOTE]
