[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 643174, member: 505"] Forget the 300 winchester then. A bit much for coues deer. Here is your issue. You want a lightweight long range rifle with a 24" barrel. Long range for a lightweight 24" barrel rifle is going to put you max maybe about a half mile if you are an exceptional shooter with outstanding form. Light, short barreled rifles are very difficult to shoot to 800 yards. Now you want to build with a cartrdge that performs well with excellent efficiency out of a 24" barrel and choose a bullet for it that performs best under 800 yards. The 7mm wsm performs well in a 24" barrel. I would match it with a lighter, faster bullet. The distance the 180 grain begins to beat out the lighter bullets is way beyond the capability of your rifle. You want to match a bullet that gives you top capability within the performance of your rifle. [/QUOTE]
