[QUOTE="Doodle, post: 2329754, member: 98051"] I hunt with a 300wsm that is 7.75 pounds loaded and ready to rock. Recoil is fine in the field but a bit of a bear for practice. Due to its recoil, I’m actually looking into a light recoiling deer laser for practice and black tails…… Anyway, if you want to slay an elk at 1000 without excessive recoil, I’d start looking at the newer ultra high bc, heavy for caliber .277 and .284 bullets, then figure out what muzzle velocity you need to ensure adequate energy and speed at 1k, and make your cartridge selection from there. Brass is hard to get for most stuff these days, but you can form a 270 wsm from a 300 wsm and vice versa. You cannot however, form a .277 bullet from a .308 bullet. I’d ensure you can get the projectiles and powders you need before sweating the brass issue. [/QUOTE]
