[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 54016, member: 34"] But, But, But, Boyd Those guns (especially Big Ugly) don't like the "windy conditions" when only pushing the 210 Gr bullets at 2800 FPS. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] which seems to be the accuracy range. At 1000 yards a little 6.5 at 2950 to 3000 FPS will nail that 300 WSM in the wind, won't they now?????? [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] That's why I didn't shoot my 300 WSM during that last match Boyd. As an add on here---As for accuracy and hunting, the WSM has not been around long enough as compared to the 300 WM. Not a fair comparison yet. Real good brass is available for the 300 WM though. As BH pointed out, the 300 WSM has a limit as per bullet choice (it seems) of the 190 to the 210 gr. The 300 Win mag holds a bit more powder and will propel the same bullets another 100 FPS "Plus". The 300 Win mag is very good using the 220 gr bullets which has a bit better BC. As for a "shorter range" cartridge stricly for hunting (especially elk), the 338 Win Mag is VERY popular out west. To reach out to further ranges, the 300 Win Mag has earned it's place in the spotlight over the years. The 300 WSM "will be" a popular hunting round also but, I don't think it will be as popular as the 300 Win Mag is for the LR or semi LR hunter. Just my 2 cents.
