[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 243581, member: 13632"] I guess I should have mentioned I live and hunt western Montana. My shooting skills are above average but not world class, I do shoot in several kinds of black powder cartridge matches but don't compete with any high power rifles. I managed a wild game processing plant for five years that would cut over 2500 animals a year and I really watched what bullets and calibers that were found in animals. I have taken elk with 22-250, 250-3000AI, 270 win, 30-06, 300 weatherby, 45-70 and many deer with the same calibers. I need to stay with an off the shelf rifle due to $$$ . I would like to keep the recoil down due to an eye injury, the 300 weatherby is too much and I don't enjoy shooting it. The hunting has changed here since the wolves were forced upon us. What is a head start on a wolf is also just out of most rifle ranges and the elk keep this distance from any cover. They have come back down to the bottoms in large herds. Needless to say this rifle will also be used on wolves. I agree that shot placement is key! I tend to be more concerned about the accuracy capability than the power. Could any one tell me how long a loaded 270wsm is with a berger vld and will it cycle through a savage action or is it a single feed deal? Thanks for the input. [/QUOTE]
