[QUOTE="Sammydog, post: 1388164, member: 76413"] I have hunted with all three of these calibers. In my experience, the 300 wm and the 300 wsm the difference is negligible. My 300 Win Mag is in a Ruger #1 with a 26” barrel. My load for it sends a 180 gr Barnes TSX at 3050 FPS it groups at .5”, I killed a bull elk with it in 2009 at 80 yds and it performed marvelously. My 300wsm is re-stocked Rem 700 with a 24” barrel. It’s load pushes a 180 gr Barnes TTSX. 3030 FPS and .625” group. My nephew killed a nice bull at 400 yds with it a couple of yrs ago. It was equally efficient and two pounds lighter. Their is a huge difference between both of them and the 30/06, in my mind. i agree with Timnterra. If I’d rather a 280 AI or a 25/06 if I were to go with something less. That said I can’t believe could go wrong with either of the 300s. There’s my 2 cents worth [/QUOTE]
