6.5 x 300 WBY
140 grain VLD Hunting Bullet
2.7+ @ 100 yds
7.7- @ 400 yards
20- @ 500 yards
That is awesome ballistics. You really might not need anything other than standard reticles to shoot at hunting ranges.

I could be wrong but I think the RUM has the best ballistics of the group but dont think its that much of a difference.

A friend who hunts close by, has a 300 RUM and shoots 130 grain Barnes TTSX. We both hunt CRP and have long shots down tree rows.

130 gr, good Lord, talk about eating up some barrels. What is the fps on that thing?

Not sure, but that thing screams. I’ve been shooting a 180 grain Ballistic Tip for whitetail in my 300, but I’m running 185 VLDs this year. It seems that if you want to shoot a 130 grain bullet, you should just shoot a 6.5 or 7mm.

Damn you, I was all set on the rifle I am having built at the end of this season being a 300 Win Mag and now you have me completely rethinking it again.

Sorry for the dumb question, how does one go about having a gun built? Go to a gunsmith, like a bespoke rifle instead of "off the rack"?

Could not agree more, however that 7mm does not make his dick look as big.

There are custom and semi-custom gun builders. Most buyers have specific components that they want.

I think it is going to be a lot closer than most folks think, we seem to play down to the level of the competition a bit this year.

We hunt different properties, but both hunt roads/right of ways in CRP. Shots can get long and I'm sure he's trying to get as flat a trajectory as possible.
I happen to like the wind bucking ability of the 180 grain bullet in a fast .300.
Some are running a 110 TTSX in a .270. It screams and is flat. This may be what we all eventually go to, but right now, I'm in the middle, to heavy for caliber school.
