[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1355861, member: 101859"] I have been underwhelmed with the 300 wsm for hunting. In Benchrest its great. Most run the 210 or 215 at 2850-2930 in a 30" barrel. The ones I have done on 24-26" struggle to get much past 2800. I had a 26" Krieger that would not even hit 2800. I do not like to use the temp sensitive double based powders in hunting rifles like rl 17 or 26. Now that 23 is out, it may work well. I consider the wsm to be a great case for hunting but, with the 180-190 class. As far as accuracy goes, you will not be able to extract the same accuracy out of a hunting rifle as you can with a Benchrest rifle. I am saying you will not get your wsm to group better than a win mag in a hunting rifle just because it has more inherent accuracy. If you really want a wsm, build it on a Broughton, they are the fastest. [/QUOTE]
