[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 887984, member: 306"] I've had two 300WSM first one use Broughton 5c barrel other use Kreiger 5r barrel and 270WSM use Lawton barrel one that Bernie made before he passed away. My nephew hunts and has two boys so he has them now. I like the 270 got one with lilja barrel and newest build 270Wby with Mike Rock barrel and I hunt deer/elk/antelope and bear. When your look for one rifle for everything you hunt there is no question 30cal has more bullet selection from short to long yardage. For bull elk I like 7mm or 30cal bullets so if I was hunting bull elk and had buck tag same season I would use when I had them a 300WSM and separate season buck tag or antelope used the 270WSM. Last year I hunted archery bull tag and rifle tag I used 270 and cow tag used Shilen 30-06. Were on a 2nd 5yr cycle that we been able to hunt deer in separate season so I've been adding some for that. I have two 30-338mag so that takes care of my bull tags. I didn't build a 7WSM was thinking about one but decided on 280AI and 284 so had those build. I may have not help you much. Well good luck [/QUOTE]
