[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1680042, member: 75779"] Yes, I load my own ammo for the 300 wm. You could buy the abm 215 Berger ammo if you don't reload. [URL]https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1018011566/abm-mission-ready-tactical-ammunition-300-winchester-magnum-215-grain-berger-match-hybrid-target-box-of-20[/URL] My rifle is a semi custom 700 + 26" barrel. I'm not limited with COAL anymore due to the wyatt's box extender. But factory remingtons are 3.6". Many dbm are shorter than this. I'd take a 30 nosler over the 300 prc, if you add some extra freebore to the nosler. In general, the 30 cal mags all have enough KO power to cleanly kill large game. IMO the case only holds powder and a bullet. The more powder capacity, the more potential to push bullets faster. The 300 rum has the most potential from a common chamber perspective. But the application matters because at 500 yards no animal will know the difference between the 30-378 weatherby and a 300 wsm. And there's no free lunch, so the increase in capacity comes at the expense of recoil, barrel life, and $$$. If you want the baddest 30 cal, take the 300 rum and add a wyatt's box extender. It will give you the option of running heavy bullets with good velocity. If you want a practical and very effective game killer, the 300 wm. If you want to be a little different, take a 30 nosler or 300 prc (I'd opt for the nosler due to better brass). Even the 300 wsm with a 180 accubond is a fantastic elk and moose killer. [/QUOTE]
