[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1821663, member: 104268"] That's pretty much 6 to 1, half dozen to the other... It will depend on the bullet, but I ran the numbers for a 200 ELD-X in the WSM at 2850 fps, and a 230 ELD-X in 338 WM at 2750 fps, and there's not much between them in terms of drop/wind. The B.C. slightly favors the 338, but the 300 WSM has a little edge in speed. I personally would go with whichever one you can shoot the best in field conditions, and if that's the same, whichever one has the features you want (weight, stock ergos, etc). They will both put the stomp on an elk out to at least 600 yds (2000 ftlbs, 2000 fps). [/QUOTE]
