stalkincoues Report post Posted November 5, 2007 cant beat what you have. load some 165/168s in the 300 wsm or some 130 or 140's in the 270wsm and your golden! It is really hard to beat either one of those calibers. shoot accubonds or TSX's and your golden! welcome to the forum, what tag do you have? Unit #31. I'll only be able to hunt for 4 days, Nov. 15th- thru the 18th. I am so excited though, can't wait! thanks for the respnse all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAM Report post Posted November 5, 2007 My deer rifle is a Christensen Arms in .270 Weatherby Mag. It shoots a 130 grain Sierra game king bullet 3,550 feet per second out of the barrel and shoots groups at a hundred yards that you can cover with a quarter. I've never shot anything with it that didn't just drop where it stood. I shot it this past Saturday in preperation for my up coming Kiabab hunt and I was hitting 12" party ballons at 700 yards. Ballisticly it's a little faster than the .270 WSM, but on the down side it is a little more expensive to shoot/reload as well. On another note, make sure to research and invest in the highest quality scope for your new rifle as you can afford. Any of the calibers spoken of in this thread are more than capeable of putting down a coues from a long ways away, but you can't hit them if you can't see them! Make sure you buy a scope with enough power to see your target at long ranges and in low light conditions. Look into the different styles of long range shooting as well and choose what works best for you. Some guys really like the mil dot reticle's, and others like myself like the target turrets or ballistic drop compensator knobs. Don't go buy a new fancy rifle and then cheap out on the scope! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
