[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2639480, member: 122313"] What altitude do you typically hunt at? We are 1414ft above sea level at the front gate and 1260ft at the river. I'm currently shooting 230gr Atips in a 300prc at 2950fps with a 1:9tw with a 26" barrel. The rifle has been sub moa with everything from 212eldx bullets to 230 Atips. I know it's not a 300wm but the 300prc is very similar. I think a 1:8tw is as fast as I'd go in a 30cal magnum but a 1:9tw seems to handle everything from 200-230gr for me so far. So I'd vote for 1:9tw unless you ever plan on shooting the big monos. [/QUOTE]
