Need RL 17 and H4350.

Nothin you can't do with it.

Kimber MT platform, good 3-15 ish type scope and live happily ever after.

Once upon a time I thought somewhat the same. After using the 300 WSM for over a decade I decided I didn't need the recoil, and that it really didn't do anything the 308 didn't do with less fuss. Certainly a 180 at 3,030 fps makes more of an immediate impression than a 165 at 2,730, but the net result is the same. To me, the 7mm/300 magnums are at their best with mono's out past 500 yards where they have enough velocity to open them. Aside from that, I'll take a "standard" cartridge every day.
