[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 777067, member: 23486"] AMEN, brother. With BC being equal or similar, I will take the higher cross sectional area every day of the week. To repeat what you've already said, the WM will also last longer in the BBL department, another win for 300. There was a statement about the STW being underrated in a world of overbore mania. If the STW is NOT overbore just what the heck is?! lol Great cartridge, don't get me wrong... There is a reason our senior members go big when they go long. When (not if) we make a bad wind call, the greater frontal diameter & higher mass WILL transmit more shock & trauma upon impact. I have also got to recommend a muzzle brake to anyone seriously thinking about shooting (let alone hunting) at long range. The comfort factor alone is WELL worth the extra expense. Think about it, large case capacity + heavy bullet= recoil. You do not want to be worried about getting the snot knocked out of you when the trigger breaks, you want to be worried about wind, breathing, squeezing, animal position... I vote .300 (with brake) for the LONG stuff, especially for a new shooter. You'll get more barrel life for practicing & a little greater error for margin should your shot drift slightly off. t [/QUOTE]
