[QUOTE="mkg, post: 246211, member: 9514"] britz and meichele, I agree on all points , my only concern would be that with the 210 gr bergers the velocity will fall off quite a bit. Hornady says max load at 200 grains gets you 2792 ft/sec ( call it 2800 ) and at 220 grains 2602ft/sec ( call it 2600 ) so it should run around 2700ft/sec compared to 2990 ft/sec at 185 grains ( difference of almost 300 ft/sec) . Neither of the 200 + grain loads are compressed and you may be able to eek out some more speed with a higher load but then you'd be pushing the cartridge and the life of the brass will suffer . If Broz would be happy stepping down to 185 grain VLD's the 300WSM is the ticket.... the deer will never know the difference. Mike [/QUOTE]
