[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1845029, member: 13632"] A 300 Win is a solid round to start with, decent barrel life and you can shoot it enough to learn it before it shoots out, lots of variety in components. Finding a rifle is important, I always recommend getting behind the ones you think you'd like, if it does not fit and feel comfortable you'll struggle to shoot it and fight it when you shouldn't be. I would say to brake it at least for your shooting for practice or you'll waste to many components learning to handle the recoil and make precision shots and you need to work on the shooting and ballistics part more. I recommend shooting a lot double the range you intend to hunt at and don't practice in the good weather, pick windy days and crappy days so your learning not just ringing steal and feeling like a rock star on great days. Practice with ALL you gear your hunting with HOW you intend to hunt, meaning range everything you shoot with your range finder, use your wind meter and ballistics solution every time don't short cut it other wise you'll loose shot opportunities and you'll be second guessing when you should be shooting. Reloading is excellent but the 300 Win does offer a lot of options, my favorite is the 300 win and 215 Berger which you can get loaded from Berger ammunition, freaking EPIC for rolling elk and precision hunting!!!
