[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 288655, member: 2740"] 3150 fps with a 200 gr bullet out of the 300 WM? Dude! I pushed it up to 3000 fps out of a 24" barrel but backed off due to flattened primers and extractor marks on case head, and not to mention stout recoil. I think out of a 24-26" barrel, 2900-2950 ifps s all you can expect out that bullet weight. That in itself is certainly nothing to sneeze at. I'm currently running a 300 RUM 3200 fps with the 200 gr Accubond and I consider that max out of my 26" barrel. Accuracy is outstanding and that rifle is my go to for long range elk. I wouldn't hesitate to take a 300 WM, however. Build which ever one tickles your fancy and go kill some elk! [/QUOTE]
