[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2699604, member: 104437"] The .270 WSM is, MORE than, "Plenty" to, 600 Yards for most, Big Game ( even, Elk / Moose ). Especially IF, you handload, the 140 grain, Berger Classic Hunters or, the 145 grain Hornady ELD-X's at, close to, 3,200 FPS ! Those 2 bullets, have, .525 & .528 BC's and are still travelling OVER, 2,000 FPS at, 800 Yards ( @ 5,500 Ft. Elev.,.. in Elk Country ). Yes, you can make a 7 SAUM or, 7 PRC with, 300 WM Magazines, Longer bolt Stops and a New Barrel, in the .270 WSM Tikka's. But to, 500- 600 Yd's, the Bigger Rounds, AREN'T necessary,.. IMO Keep it, in .270 WSM because, a .300 WSM in a Light Weight, 7.5 Pound Scoped, Tikka, WILL Beat,.. the living Snarl out of, You ( UN-less,.. Braked ). SKIP the .308 ( Not needed ) Put that, money into, a "Good" Scope & Ammo and Practice shooting to, 700 Yards, on 10-12 inch diameter, Steel Plates, Prone and to 400 yds sitting, over stix. ( Real World,.. Hunting Practice ). [/QUOTE]
