[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1680136, member: 75779"] The 300 wm has enough energy to kill an elk or moose out to about 1000 yards. It all comes down to your ability to make the shot. Do you need a custom gun? No, but custom guns are often more accurate than an off the shelf gun. You can have a gunsmith add freebore if it's needed. Here's just suggestion. Buy a 700 sendero or 5r model in 300 wm. Have the barrel threaded and add a muzzle brake. Shoot it and set how accurate it is. Learn to load for the 300 wm. I'd recommend getting forster dies(bump neck + seating die), adg brass, h1000 powder, 210 or 215 Berger bullets, and federal 215m primers. Side note: the hornady comparator and headspace sets are vital in determining lands(coal) and setting your shoulder bump. I'm in Michigan, otherwise I'd meet up with you and get you started in the right direction. You can also shoot hammer bullets to reduce some recoil and still get great results. [/QUOTE]
