[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 532931, member: 24624"] The 300WSM cartridge has the potential to be lethal on deer and elk at 800-1000 yds. A fast twist and high BC bullets will make a big difference. The big 338's would be a better choice if you're really determined. We all know that shot placement is everything. But, it's a lot more difficult to get off a good shot on game at those ranges than it is to ring a piece of steel. Steel is reflective, thus easier to range. Also, it won't walk 10 paces while you dial your turrets rendering your shooting solution invalid. In addition to the rifle/practice, etc that you mentioned, you'll need a PDA with good software, a Kestrel, Lieca or Swaro range finder, and a good spotter to assist you. Nonetheless, it sounds like you're off to a good start. Enjoy! richard [/QUOTE]
