[QUOTE="Mustang72, post: 1997788, member: 109065"] Well yes and no. Is a good shooting 300 wm mag good for long range shooting?-absolutely! Is there great long range factory ammo for it?-yes. How good will your gun shoot it? Unknown, but you'll probably find something that works well and for less $ than the 7 ultra mag. Will the 300 wm shoot as flat as a 7 ultra mag-No.--unless you run poor ammo in the 7. Will a lighter rifle shoot as good as a heavier one?Yes.--BUT- nearly all shooters are more accurate with a heavier rifle,especially at longer ranges. Personally I would start reloading whatever rifle you use. How much weight your willing to carry for a hunting rifle is really a personal choice. I prefer lighter weight if I am walking much. If I am only going short distances,like to a stand or the edge of a field then it really doesn't matter. [/QUOTE]
