Thanks for all the responses. Lots of good input to ponder.
Suggestions on bullet choices for each? I heard the Partition mentioned for the Wby?? My H&H came with several boxes of Federal 300gr Trophy Bonded Bear Claws, but they don't seem very popular.
Forgot to mention I can load my own.
7fa - with Rl-15 and 260 gr Nosler Accubonds I put together a load that was very accurate and easy to shoot. "Borrowed" the load from John Barsness. Sighted it in at 200 yards, and practiced at 300 pretty regularly. No problem hitting the gong at 300, with that load.
When the bear stood up at a lasered 306 yards, again, no problem hitting. Excellent bullet performance too. Simply couldn't be happier with the combination. Haven't shot an elk with it yet, due to lack of opportunity. I imagine though that it would work out just fine.
Either rifle should do well - just giving some input on the 260 gr Accubond, which I consider a great game bullet. Enjoy your hunt!
Regards, Guy
