[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1678504"] Yeah that 9 twist might be an issue, I'd go with an 8 twist for long range hunting and shoot the 180 ELDM or 195's. Don't get caught up in ultimate speed, there are many drawbacks and very little gain with really overbore magnums. I'd go with a 7 wsm throated long, or if you're into fire forming and custom dies the 7 Sherman max. I'm pushing 180's 3000 fps in my 26" barreled 7-300 wsm, it's fairly light at 9 lbs scoped and it's very easy to shoot braked. The wsms are super accurate and easy to tune, I've shot 2.5" groups at 820 yards with my 7. Just remember practice is the most important thing for long range hunting [/QUOTE]
