[QUOTE="HOGGHEAD, post: 208659, member: 9107"] [b]300 Wsm[/b] I shoot a heavy barreled 300 WSM for my long range deer rifle. I consider long range to be 600-700 yards. I am very effective with mine out to 600 yards. Hopefully by this coming season I will be proficient at 700 yards. Each 100 yards is really a milestone, if you want to be consistent. I think you are being a bit hopeful with a light rifle out to 1,000 yards, but that is just my opinion. I am sure there are people who can do it, but not I. I started loading 155 grain Sierra Palma's in my 300 WSM. I am loading it with H-414, with great results. I am getting a little extra velocity with the H-414. I am not a believer in the expensive bullets you talked about. I pretty much see them as marketing hype. But then again that is my opinion, not necessarily a fact. My longest kill so far was on a nice 8-point in WV at 375 yards. The buck never knew what hit him. I have killed several deer with this setup(been using it for two years), and I have found the Palma's very effective on deer. Tom. [/QUOTE]
