[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 1749215, member: 53978"] I'm torn between a [B]270Win in a lightweight rifle[/B] like a Tikka for easy carry (especially if limited to deer), (yes, the 7mmRM would work, too) or a 300 PRC for medium-heavy bullets, keeping velocity up to 3000fps+, or if including elk, then maybe a 338WM or 338PRC when available, or 33Nosler. The 338's only need a 10" twist to use the 213gnHH at 3000fps and +. The Barnes 250LRX has a .602 BC, but the 338WM would only push it at 2700fps. The 213HH at [B]2950fps in a 338WM [/B]would have same wind drifts out to 500 yards, literally, but would drop considerably less (-16" vs -21" at 400yards using +2" 100yd sight-in.) The 270 and 300 would also work in 10" twist, but an 8" twist in 270 would allow the 156gnHH. [/QUOTE]
