[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1292605, member: 5219"] 300 WSM with 215 Berger target hybrid. Don't worry about the OAL with that long bullet sitting deep in the case. I built a load for a friend's 300 WSM Browning A-bolt with 2.8" magazine restriction and 230 berger target hybrids. Used RL-17 and got a very accurate load @ 2735 fps. I would think you could get a bit more velocity with the 215s and have a fantastic LR platform which would work on all game in NA as you suggested. Your 300 WSM would not duplicate the velocities that Broz obtained with his 300 win mag but it would be close. You would get same performance at a slightly closer distance. See just what this bullet is capable in this link. I linked it several pages in where the documented killing begins.
