[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 26927, member: 8947"] RuffHewn, welcome to the site. "nice" problem to have. You certainly have the hardware to do the job. I am a big fan of the Hornady line of bullets and have had wonderful success with the SST 165gr bullet in my WBY, Gibbs, and '06. Either this or the 180gr bullet will work on any of your targets from off the muzzle to 1000yds (not sure how far you need to go). The BC of these bullets is very high (similar to the 190gr to 200gr class of MK)and they will still expand at low impact vel. Since impact vel is rarely going to exceed 3000fps, the bullet will stay together for broadside and quartering shots (not a Texas heart shot guy). As to accuracy, I have shot them into the .1's at 100yds and 1/3MOA at long range (650yds). If you decide to give these a try, seat these bullets close the lands or just on. I have had the most success seating them this way. I suspect that H4530 or H4831SC would be great powders for your WSM. Good luck...Wish I was closer to lend you a hand. Jerry PS I would mount the variable IOR. 10X is plenty of mag and the lower mag will help find and spot the animals. [/QUOTE]
