[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 684815, member: 10306"] I cant think of a single reason to go to a 300 WSM over the 06' for your situation. The 300 WSM is horespower for elk or long range deer, and it does very well for those applications. The ole 06' has more than enough energy/momentum for deer at 500 yards, it has less recoil (meaning comfy in a light rifle), it feeds better USUALLY, and the big one... there are a plethora of inexpensive but accurate factory loads for it. I used to shoot my .338 RUM for everything, but now I have a .280 rem and thats my 600 yard deer rifle. If you dont hand load I wouldnt even consider the 300WSM! Enjoy the new rifle purchase!:D!
