[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1765987, member: 30902"] Found the same to be true in the STW, 300wm, and 300 RUM. At longer ranges they perform well but are pretty much flying bombs at sub 400yds ranges hitting at high velocity. Shot a big doe about eight years ago with the WM right at 300yds. Perfect shot midway between the elbow and shoulder just a bit back. She dropped like an absolute rock. When I rolled her over I wanted to puke looking at the gaping hole in the offside. Further inspection showed the toughest thing the bullet contacted on entrance was a rib. Fortunately the shot was a bit back of the shoulder so there wasn't just a whole lot of meat loss but if It had been a perfect heart shot I'd have lost much of the opposite shoulder. [/QUOTE]
