[QUOTE="liltank, post: 590542, member: 13275"] Due to not reloading you are at the mercy of ammunition manufacturers. 300Win mag, the new 338 Lapua Savage, 7WSM are all your best options. With a little diligent searching of ammo manufacturers you should be able to find ammo that will work. In 7WSM you want 160grn bullets or higher. In 300Win you want 185grn or better. Anything in 338Lapua is good. The RUM is an option, but you can't purchase that in the Savage. Going to 1000-1100yds with factory ammunition is going to be difficult unless you can find something in HSM, Gunwerks, or Bryan Litz target ammo that will work in your particular rifle. If you could pull with in 800yds w/ the WSM than that would be the good caliber. But you are still limited. However the 300WSM is not overkill for whitetail. Tank [/QUOTE]
