[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1663008, member: 110162"] My reasoning for the 300wsm is based on the max range shot on the max sized animal . To me, that is the logical place to go when a question is asked like the OPs. A smaller non magnum cartridge will work . Just not with any room for shooter error or less than ideal animal positioning. Is the 300wsm overkill on the other end of the OPs spectrum, I'd say so, for me anyway . A 200yd shot on a 175lbs deer surely doesnt take a magnum 30 cal . Better to give yourself some room for forgiveness in shot placement than to waste an animal because you wanted to prove you could kill a moose at 600yds with your whitetail special. [/QUOTE]
