[QUOTE="30-06 boy, post: 246114, member: 5097"] i personally dont have experience with the 300wsm. i do however know that they are being used in 1000 yard benchrest comp. so the accuracy must be there. and i hear what has already been said, with heavy bullets they are a liitle down in velocity. i've heard that the bullet has to be set in the case deeper and takes up powder space. one cound chamber thier rifle with a long throat to elievate this issue.on the other hand my dad has 2 300 win mags,i have one and my brother has one, my uncle has one. they are a great caliber. as far as what everone says about the short neck,they shoot fine. the belted case, dont oversize your cases and shoot moderate loads and your brass will last.i have 6 or 7 loadings in some of mine. there are other calibers that have more "horsepower" but the 300 wm suits us just fine. barrel life should be 2500 + rounds, the world record holder at williamsport pa 1000 yard benchrest club was shot with a "improved 300 weatherby. he fired it with a barrell with around 3000 rounds through it. oh by the way the record is 10 shots in 3.200". jason [/QUOTE]
