7-300 WM or 300 WM

[brycedb]

Hello all, I have been pondering for quite some time about building a 7-300 WM. I mainly shoot long range at plates but do get a fair amount of 600-800 yard shot opportunities on elk where we hunt them. I have 600 pieces of lapua 300 WM brass I have been using in my 300 WM browning x bolt with the berger 210 VLD and just got my hands on 400 215 berger hybrids. I love the availability of the 300 WM and 30 cal projectiles but am always tempted by the BCs of the .284 projectiles. If I build a 7-300 WM it will be with a Wyatt's extended box mags throwing the 195 berger (currently have 500). Have I just been bit by the .284 fairy dust bug or is this a good plan. Any info/recommendations is appreciated cheers.

I am really liking the 7X300WSM. Been playing with it a few months and I can't see any other "big 7" that I would want more.

I was bit by the fairy dust bug and couldn't have been happier lol. Big 7s are pretty potent long range.

Two thumbs up that's good enough for me placed my order with KS Arms now for the wait!

Have you thought about building a 7 saum instead? There's guys on the form who are shooting 195 with a 7 saum. They're getting great speed and you wouldn't have to do all the extra work with the brass.

.300 WM loaded with 215 Berger is golden. Search for Berger 210/215 by BROZ; he accounted for over 100+ kills on multiple long-range games.

You will like it. I run a 28 nosler with 195's and it's basically the same as the 7-300 Win Mag. At the 3140 my 29" barrel gets them going the wind is minimal. N570 will probably be your friend in that too.

I have been a fan of the 7RMag for a long time and have wanted a 7-300wm ever since I heard of it.
Now I have a 7STW and it has been a pure shooter.
I still want a 7-300 just because

I have great results with 195 EOL and LRT. I load to 3.57" for DBM. The Berger likes to jump.
