[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 806952, member: 23486"] I don't think that comparing only two rifles (yours & your buddies) quantifies as a indisputable proof/evidence. The 300WM has the popularity base it has BECAUSE of it's generally easy going traits. General consensus is that the WM is very forgiving & easy to load for, maybe your buddy got a lemon? The STW is a fantastic cartridge (minus the lack of quality brass) & I personally would be happy to have one. But, when adding the big fuzzy wuzzies to the equation, there is no replacement for displacement. There are gentlemen on this board that see more elk taken at long range every year than most of us will take in a decade. I believe we can all agree on what caliber they use the least, & that is 7mm. I'm not thrashing the STW or 7mm believe it or not. Just making the point that when Long Range Elk comes into the equation, there are better choices & those choices have been outlined throughout this forum Time & Time again; that choice is nearly unanimous in starting at the 30 cal magnums & going UP from there. t [/QUOTE]
