[QUOTE="DonLR, post: 2457053, member: 122134"] While the wsm has been around a while it pails in comparison to the popularity of the 300 win mag. The 6.8 western will handle effectively 165 to 175 gr bullets with its faster twist rate and even heavier bullets then that are available form smaller bullet producers. In reality the 300 wsm and 6.8 wéstern are near ballistic equals to the point that no critter woukd know the difference. The 300 win or a host of other cartridges trumps both of these cartridges and especially in the case of the 300 win you can’t beat it for ammo availability, long range energy and availability of ammo when compared to the other two calibers you mentioned. The 300 PRC would also be an excellent choice to handle even heavier bullets although the sun msg dies very well with bullets up to 210 gr which meets North American hunting needs. Good luck.
