I have turned very lazy in my old age so long distance hunting is now my thing. Derr, bear Elk @ 700 to 1000 yards is good.
So one of my options is to shoot a 300 Remington Ultra Mag with a 130g Barnes @ 3900 fps. or stay with the same. There are a lot of pro's and Con's to both....
what do you guys think?

I never understood this line of thinking. If you are routinely taking pokes at animals over 700 yards, you will put on more miles recovering animals than you ever would have getting closer in the first place.
