[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1578494, member: 27307"] While I agree with you regarding the .270 WSM, I also think that you can't go wrong by choosing the .300 WSM as a companion cartridge to the .270 WSM. The F-Class shooters are all over this cartridge for it's performance at 1,000 yards. Set your rifle up for one type of magazine then go shoot. You don't have to shoot the heaviest bullet for caliber just because it's fashionable. Choose a great bullet and go hunt. In the .270, I'm running the Barnes 130 gr. TTSX and the Berger 150 Gr. VLD Hunter. Both are seated to use the standard 2.925" OAL for my DBM and are very accurate. The .300 WSM seems to like the Berger 180 gr. Elite Hunter. Personally, after a couple of decades experience, I would opt to use the Defiance action and Bartlein barrels. This is an excellent combination and nearly unbeatable unless you attempt to run a BAT while hunting...:eek:;) [/QUOTE]
