As many of you are already aware from one of my other threads, I have a 300WSM that I'm going to get rebarreled soon. I wanted to start a new thread with a more focused topic. I know this has probably been debated a ton already and if there's a good thread here in the archives that answers my questions, please point me to it.
I only have 2 rifles right now that are "all weather" including the Win M70 300WSM that I'm going to get rebarreled and turned into a custom rifle. The other all weather is a Hill Country Rifles .270 Win that I can use when hunting without my wife, but when she's with me, that's her backpacking rifle. I've done a lot of research on ballistics, bullets, brass and factory load availability, etc., and I'm very torn on what to do. Though I don't intend on this being my last custom gun I ever get done, if it ends up being that way, I want it to be able to handle any North American game up to Brown Bear/Grizzley. I will get at least a .338 if I get the chance to hunt big bear. I know that either of these cartriges will handle all those animals with the right bullet selection. I'm hoping to hear from a lot of you that have had experience with these two cartriges and I want to hear all the pros and cons you guys can come up with. I do reload though I'm still very much a rookie in that aspect. Thanks in advance for your opinions.
