[QUOTE="KSB209, post: 2735623, member: 83819"] I’m planning a new build and want to get everyone’s opinion on calibers. I have a 270, 308, and 300wm as my primary hunting rifles. Have a few others in smaller calibers for “fun.” Right now I’m not comfortable past 500 yards and I honestly don’t think illl ever take a shot past 700-800 yards when I get more range time at those distances. So with a 800 yard max range is there anything a 300wm can’t do on game up to an elk? I keep toying with the idea of a 28 Nosler or the new “fancy” 7 prc but I don’t really see that much benefit when I compare them to the 300wm. Sure I could step up to the 338 calibers but sticking with 300 WM I already have components to load and if I need factory ammo it’s relatively available. My question is will I be missing out on a huge advantage with a different caliber. I don’t think so but open to suggestions. At this stage in my life I don’t have time to play with loading as much and spend more time shooting. Can anyone talk me out of a new 300wm? [/QUOTE]
