[QUOTE="johnlittletree, post: 1545931, member: 105653"] Since you do not reload the 300WM is the best choice in a magnum. In non-magnum 30-06 would be a great choice. In 300WM you can likely shoot what ever you want with a 1:9.5tw in 30-06 I doubt that it would reliably stablize all 190-210 VLD's not your typical heavy hunting bullets @ 30-06 velocities and 1:9.5tw. Obviously even 220grain round nose would stabilize fine at 1:9.5 even at 30-06 velocities. 300 PRC......He does not reload and it is doubtful he can find 300 PRC pre loaded in rural America outside mega cities! No way a retail store like Walmart, Meijers or a Country Gas station with hunting and shooting store inside would have it and even a small gunsmith likely will not have it either! Even if he reloaded it is a poor choice since you can almost never buy 6.5 PRC or 300 PRC Brass as soon as most of the larger reloading distributors and retailers get any in it is sold out right away. Only one company makes the brass since it is proprietary and that is Hornady. No mention of who made the barrel or it's length. I am glad you went with 1:9.5 I recommend people go 1:8 or 1:9 so they know they will be able to shoot almost everything even things not yet made. [/QUOTE]
