[QUOTE="aksnowfun, post: 367578, member: 16658"] One more example to help with your confidence and this cartridge.... I shoot the 270 WSM in a Mod 70. I was in the same boat as you last fall about taking shots beyond 300 yds, only because of not being sure how the gun was shooting and my own ability. I had a shot on a caribou at 350 yds and was indecisive when i put the crosshairs on it. I got on him and everything just felt right so I took the shot. By the time I shot he was at 370 yds. I was shooting a 150 gn MRX at about 3050 fps. The caribou was quartering away and uphill slightly. The bullet went in at the last rib and went through the far front shoulder. Complete pass through shot and he just dropped on the spot. If that combo can do this at 370, I believe it still has a lot more effective distance left in it. good luck on your build! [/QUOTE]
