[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 1624105, member: 109327"] I limited my comment to 30's because that's what the OP was asking about. Maybe I should have said the WSM is the most "commonly" used 30 instead of "dominant" 30 with the top ranking shooters. I also realize I'm using 1000 yard competition to qualify the WSM at a mile. If you read everything I said I specifically said not sure about the record part and was simply trying to state the WSM is a good option, sorry you took this personally. The guy who just won the Berger SW (FT-R) who I know very well shoots a 300 WSM and a 284, not sure which he shot at this comp(I'll ask him) but I'd bet it was his blue WSM as he only has the 284 for the ranges that have band the magnums. Do you or anyone else have a link to what cartridges were used to set the current records? I've found who shot them, where and what the record is but not what cartridge set them. May be enlightening for choosing cartridges for future builds. [/QUOTE]
