[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1960611, member: 66917"] They will likely be fine as a standard range hunting rifle, but I wouldn't expect to go shooting long range with them. Every factory rifle I owned with hunting weight barrels in deer/elk cartridges usually started to disappoint around 500-600 yards. Now, it you're shots never run up that far you're likely golden. I bought a 270 WSM in a Kimber Montana years ago out of nostalgia and killed a bunch of stuff with it all less than 500 yards. Once the barrel wore out I changed it to a 300 WSM and realized how much better flex wise the 300 is. It's really the sweet spot cartridge out of all the WSMs. I've loaded for 2 of them and they both loved the 190gr Berger VLD Hunting bullet, which provides some serious long range punch. [/QUOTE]
