[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2299682, member: 66917"] Had em both. Either one will do business at 600 yards on an elk (a ton of cartridges will). If you stay under 200gr on your bullet choice its a toss up on performance. The WSM falls behind the WM with heavier bullets. The universal nature of the 300 WM around the world makes it a nice travel cartridge, super for Africa. The WSM is more efficient with powder so you can go with a smaller lighter rifle and still match the 300 WM. A WSM with a medium length action, a 22in barrel, and long lead chamber would be a nice hunting rig. With the efficiency of the WSM case you would not loose much going shorter on your barrel but you gain a lighter easier handling rifle. Great for hunting elk in tight spaces with enough juice to shoot cross canyon. Hmmmm I might have to build another 300 WSM. [/QUOTE]
