[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1931593, member: 14204"] As you can see, there are plenty of varying recommendations and experiences. The .300 WM remains my go-to chambering from antelope to elk size game up to 1K yards. Since you mentioned you've always wanted a magnum, pick one and go for it. The slower twist can be problematic only for heavier bullets that require a faster twist rate. My SAKO M995 in .300 WM has 1:11" but harvested MT bull elk at 931 yards with 190 Berger VLD. Also, not sure where in MT you are hunting but altitude is your friend when it comes to bullet stabilization. Whatever you decide, the good thing is you have plenty of time to prepare for it and you can always bring the venerable -06 for back up. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
