[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1276797, member: 14204"] lightbulbAnother vote for the .300 WM, it is very hard to beat and meets your requirement esp. when it is backed up by real world success that Jeff (BROZ) has afield >>> [U][U][URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/comparing-berger-210-vld-215-hybrid-88657/[/URL][/U][/U] lightbulb The .300 WM remains my go to chambering for antelope to elk size game up to 1K yards. I don't recommended it because I have other costs (Manson custom reamer, Whidden custom hydraulic forming die, and Whidden custom reloading dies) associated with "[I][B]MY full custom build but it's a cost I opted to nonetheless[/B][/I]". Because the .300 Ackley was introduced, my .30 Lara (.300 Jarret improved) is similar. Not to scale but just a quick side by side visual only comparison ...
