[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 23878, member: 12"] I would probably go with the 300 Weatherby as first choice. I have the 300 WSM as 1000 yd heavy gun (42 lb). That cartidge case seems to like the 180-200 gr bullets best, but I would not pick it as first choice for dual purpose gun. The .334-.336 tight neck weatherby will shoot 210-240s very well and you will not be unhappy at all with that choice. My 308 Baer was rebarrelled to a .334 neck Weatherby and sold. Guy that bought it shot a perfect 100 and a 5.1" group at Nationals this year with 240s in it. Simple quality brass only needing neck turning is another key. Improved rounds work great if you are an experienced reloader and know all the tricks to getting quality cases with moving shoulders forward, necking up and partially resizing necks down to maintain alignment etc. BH [/QUOTE]
