[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 94109, member: 1403"] Bounty Hunter Yes the 300 WSM is getting some serious looking into. I could use the 190g VLD for targets/deer/yotes, and the 200g AB for LR elk/bears. Was also thinking of the .300 WM, or the 7 WSM/ 7mm Rem. shooting 168g berger for deer/yotes, then either the 160g AB or the 162g SST for elk/bears. I was maybe thinking that these cartridges would get me 2000 rounds of barrel life, while still giving me what I want as far as an 800 yard elk rifle, and a 1000 yard deer/target rifle. Tell me if you think a 300 WSM with a 200g AB would sit down a nice 6x6 at 800 yards. I'm thinking it probly would, only because I witnessed a couple spike kills at 750 with 7 mag and 140's, and a 300 WM 180's. Another question I have is this. Out of my Rem 700 300 RUM, could I rebarrel to a 300 WSM without doing major modifications??
