[QUOTE="liltank, post: 531361, member: 13275"] Well for 500yds I would look at a 260, 6.5x47, 6.5 Creedmore, 7mm-08, 257 Roberts, 25-06, 308, 30-06, 280/AI, 270. All these calibers are more than capable to 500yds and more. Less powder, less recoil, and more affordable ammo. But... pertaining to your question, with proper hand loads both can be souped up to much better ballistics. Guess it's a matter of what you want. Both will get the job done. If I had a 338WM, I would go with the 225 and even the 250's. With the 300WM, I would go straight to the 208 a-max, or 210 something. I wouldn't even bother with anything less than 200grns. The 300WM is a serious competitor to 1000yds for game. JMHO! By the way, I have a .308 that I plan on shooting deer to 800yds with. Just something to think about. Tank [/QUOTE]
