[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1157695, member: 33159"] My elk rifle is a Sako 75 300 WSM. I love this rifle. It's very accurate and was easy to develop loads for many different bullets. It's an extremely efficient caliber and velocities are essentially the same as the Winmag but uses less powder. Case life is great too. It shines shooting 150-180 gr bullets and likes ball powders the best. I've had no issue developing a 200 gr load for it too. All of my hand loads are sub moa and I have a couple that are 1/4 moa. The short action makes it a lighter rifle which I really appreciate when hiking up and down mountains at high elevation chasing elk. I really noticed the weight difference compared to my 7mm STW when I had a scope issue on the WSM and changed over to the STW. The STW felt like an anchor compared to the WSM. Honestly, they're both great calibers, so you can't go wrong here. If you want more firepower, look at the 300 RUM or move up to a 340 Weatherby [/QUOTE]
