[QUOTE="Playtimefun, post: 2750250, member: 103742"] 300 Win Mag. Factory Barnes or reloads with 180 grain Barnes TTSX and go shoot EVERY animal that's found in North America. Anybody who thinks magnum ruin meat is shooting a badly constructed bullet because that's the reason I personally hate the 270 Win. Nothing wrong with the cartridge BUT was shooting poor quality bullets and ruined more meat than all the meat ruined with my 300s. Ammo is available everywhere for if someone forgets their ammo at home. Own all of the 300s and multiples of the same cartridge. 300 WBY is maybe a touch better without getting into the 300 RUM but recoil and weight start getting up there. 300 WSM can be done in a lightweight package. After that... starting to become a fan of the 7 WSM even though factory ammo is hard to find. Reload with 150 gr Barnes LRX and you can do a very lightweight gun. My lightest gun which has become a favorite on elk is a Browning mountain ti in 325 WSM. Scoped the gun is 6 lbs 5 ounces and with reloads it hits harder than my 338 win mag. I have the same gun in 7 mm WSM and scoped its 6 lbs 15 ounces. I need the mountain ti in 300 wsm now. From lightest (top) to heaviest of the lightweight. Browning mountain ti 325 6 lbs 5 ou The weatherby 280 AI is 6 lbs 11 ounces The Savage 6.5x284 is 6 lbs 12 ounce kimber 300 wsm and it was 6 lbs 15 ounces [/QUOTE]
