[QUOTE="liltank, post: 548890, member: 13275"] Since nobody is picking the calibers you have posted, I personally would choose the 300 Win. Mag. It is a natural pick for the heavier bullets. The WSM is a good caliber and will push the heavies, but with the Hornady 208 amax/bthp 225 bthp, Berger's 210 and 230, Sierra's 200, 210, 220 SMK, it would be the better option in my opinion. It has more powder capacity and you will be able to shoot WSM speeds with less pressure with the big bullets. With that said, the 7mmRM with 162 amax and 168 Berger are beasts as well in the ranges you are wanting to shoot. However with any chance of ever shooting past 800, the 300WM is just going to be a good caliber for deer to 1200+, and Elk to 1000. I bet a moose would feel the pain at that distance also. 300 Win Mag gets my vote! Tank [/QUOTE]
