[QUOTE="Tom Wright, post: 1788179, member: 108611"] Well, my "go-to" gun is a non-customized Browning x-bolt stainless steel stalker in 300WM. The rounds I choose are usually a Barnes 165 grain or a Swift A-frame 180 grain, depending o the animal being hunted; in my rifle both rounds shoot almost exactly the same using my Leupold 6-20 with CDS. In the last year I have taken one shot kills at ranges up to and exceeding 450 yards. The A-frame gets my nod for heavier denser game like zebra, kudu, or eland, the Barnes for smaller like sable, roan or ibex, etc. The 165 should work fine--my ibex was at around 375 yards and dropped in its tracks. If you're happy with what you are shooting DON"T change--the confidence you have in the gun and round will make the shot instinctive and that maybe the difference between success and failure. Attached are pics of some of the animals taken in the last 13 months using that rifle and those loads: [ATTACH]164958[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]164961[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]164962[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]164963[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]164964[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]164965[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]164966[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]164967[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]164969[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
