[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2370182, member: 103303"] The 300wsm is a great round. Well known for accuracy and tunability. Factory ammo generally runs right with 300 win mag velocities. Handloaded to its full potential, though the 300WM is at least 100fps faster then the WSM. It's hard to compare these different cases without knowing what kind of distances you want to be capable at. Theoretically, the 30 Nosler offers about 50fps over the 300PRC, which in turn offers 50fps over the 300 Winnie... It's really splitting hairs, and most people shooting inside 600yrds will not notice the difference. (Most people shooting beyond 600 will not notice it either - it's going to take hundreds of rounds shot at well beyond 1000yrds to appreciate the dofferences in PERFORMANCE) As others have repeatedly noted, for the average shooter, it really comes down to components and availability. Without ammunition, a rifle is useless! My 300wsm has a 23" barrel and launches 215gr Bergers right around 2800fps. It makes a fairly portable package, and gives 'elk capable' ballistics to about half a mile (880yd). There is no denying it! [/QUOTE]
