[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 56179, member: 8947"] If they make it, consider the 7WSM or the 270 WSM. In the wind, both of these will have bullets with much better BC. A 154/162gr 7mm or a 140/150gr 270 will be plenty for deer at ranges 500yds+. I prefer the 7WSM and 162gr SST/Amax. I had a 30Gibbs which I really liked but at ranges beyond 400yds, the wind was not my friend. Now I have a 6.5-06. Although a lighter bullet (140gr vs 165gr), the increased retained velocity and reduced wind drift make a big difference. I have had little trouble connecting in wind that would have made hitting with the 30Gibbs very difficult. Something to consider since you are 'beanfield' shooting. Jerry [/QUOTE]
