[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 542292, member: 9253"] Something to consider in selecting a 300 WSM for Long Range Hunting & Shooting is that most manufactures put it in a short action so there's not enough room for Very Low Drag heavy bullets. That's why the 300 Win Mag, 300 Dakota, and 300 Norma Mag make more sense to me for LRH/S. Those are all 2.5 inch cases usually* used with 3.6" magazines. That's room for 1.1 inches of bullet outside of the case. The SAAMI spec for a 300 WSM is 2.86" OAL in a 2.09" case. That's only 0.77" of bullet outside of the case. What distance each person considers "Long Range" to be should be considered in their decision. * the 300 Win Mag and 300 Dakota SAAMI length is only 3.34". They're limited too at that length.
