[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1003534, member: 12995"] If you have the extra $200 to spend, I'd go for stainless. I've killed lots of pigs and tons of deer with 7mm's (7mm-08, 7mm RM, 7mm STW).....Never had a problem. And I wasn't even using really heavy bullets eiether (mostly 140-160gr bullets). Why don't you look to the 7mm STW. With a 26"-28" 1:9 twist barrel, it sounds like it would suit your needs just fine, especially with some 180 Berger Hyrbids in it. Or even a regular old 7mm RemMag with a 26" 1:9 twist barrel should do the trick for anything in North America inside of 1,000 yards. Nothing wrong with the .300 WM either. Just pointing out that I've found 7mm's are the perfect all-around bullet. You do realize that if you remove the factory barrel off a rifle, the accuracy guarantee goes out the window, right?
