[QUOTE="slowshot18, post: 2468769, member: 119000"] I’m a short barrel, suppressed, magnum cartridge fan on my hunting rigs. Being a millennial, I do not like loud things with a lot of blast like muzzle brakes. Also, a 26” gun with a can is not fun to carry around. The old argument of “If you’re going to shoot a 20” barreled magnum cartridge, you might as well shoot a .308” is exactly what it is, old and annoying. Take a 20” .308 running the SAME exact 180gr bullet at max charge, and compare it to a 20” 300wm with the same 180gr bullet at max charge, and I assure you the 300wm will out perform the .308. The extra performance will decrease errors at said distance. If you’re not loading, and in this environment, step 1 is to find factory ammo that you like and it’s availability. You cannot go wrong with 300wm, 7RM, or even 6.5 PRC. An outfitter I use in West Texas has all of their guides carry custom 18” suppressed 6.5 PRCs. Those guys harvest elk, mule deer, antelope, aoudad, bighorns, and a bunch of other game. Each one claims that aoudad are the hardest to kill. They let their clients use their 18” 6.5 PRCs with 130 grain Federal Terminal Ascent bullets harvest game out to 800 yards with minimal issues. [/QUOTE]
