[QUOTE="dciron, post: 3021698, member: 115538"] I would like to tap into the knowledge and experience of this forum to ask for some guidance. I have 2 A-bolt rifles, like new, a 7MMWSM and a 300WSM that my father and I purchased years ago. I am looking at re-barreling and installing them into new carbon stocks. Here is my question... I am looking at maybe getting a better spread between calibers to hunt from a large size of Elk/Black Bear, a middle of Deer Size game, to a small size Pronghorn/Blacktail/Coyote. Do I keep the 300WSM for the larger, if so should I throat it for the new longer/high BC bullets or stay with one of the many options offered in factory ammo from 180gr up? Then chamber the other in ???? 6.8 Western? 6.5 PRC? Fast 1/4 bore or 22? Do I keep the 7MM WSM, ammo a bit harder to find in factory form, for the larger game and change out the 300WSM for smaller game? Or is there a combination of 2 that these Magnum bolt face, short actions, would be better built as? I really appreciate the experience here to help me figure this out. [/QUOTE]
