[QUOTE="brentc, post: 887357, member: 16938"] If you're serious about making a true long range [B]big game[/B] hunting WSM, my vote is 300 WSM in a 26"-28" barrel running .719 BC 230 Berger OTMs at around 2750 fps. The long range energy of the 230 is phenomenal in this round and it takes the 300 WSM to the next level over its little brothers. Plus, you'll likely have better barrel life. Get a muzzle brake regardless of what you decide. I live in your area now and I can let you test drive this setup on some steel targets and you can see first hand what 2000 ft lbs from a WSM at 700 yards looks like. [/QUOTE]
