[QUOTE="diriel, post: 526557, member: 26983"] For hunting a 300wm will pump a 208gr Amax out to 1k and still retain sufficient energy and velocity to kill your average deer or antelope. I will tell you what, an ultra lite rifle in 300wm with a heavy bullet is most definitely not my idea of Fun ;) With a really good brake and good hearing protection, it would likely be ok. If you forget the hearing protection with a braked 300wm.... trust me you will only ever do it once! Loud is an understatement. I used to own a Winchester Stainless Stalker 300wm with Boss. Sold it to my brother & law, but still reload for it, and occasionally shoot it. He is a big guy, but that thing POUNDS him. After about 10-12 rounds he is straight up done. I can usually go 25-30 rounds before I have to call it a day, even so it becomes a pretty tedious mental exercise each and every round. I will be Re-barreling to a 7mmRM in my savage 111 here towards the end of the year. My rifle is anything but lite @ 16.5lbs. At the moment it is a ***** cat 6.5x55 BJAI!! Heh, it is a LOT more fun to put 50-100 rounds down range with it, than with that fire breathing 300wm! The 7mmRM will probably be right about at the top of my practice a-lot tolerance. Have fun with it, Gary [/QUOTE]
