[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 700266, member: 48043"] I've worked with the 300 wsm also, and frankly the win coyote in 300 wsm my dad had wasn't any better than a 30-06 improved in its actual velocities with usable loads. It was also terribly innacurate when wound out. I realize this is only one rifle in 300 wsm, but when someone trades in a couple of nice, totally functional win long mags( a browning 338 and a rem in 300 win) for a 270 wsm and 300 wsm and both fizzle out, it really leaves a crappy taste in your mouth. He tried all bullet weights and powders we had-- quite a few choices since my dad, broither, and I all shoot 30 cal. I know the win factory in new haven was using mostly bin parts towards the end, but these two crappy rifles were still pretty inexcusable. He is still using the 300 wsm in a stryker pistol, and I shoot the 25wssm, so we haven't given up short mags completely, but I'll not be betting big on them either. P.S. nosler is rather full of it on attained velocities with some cals.; my 7rem can't hit within 200 fps of what they say on their charges. This is the thrid 7rem of mine that won't make their speeds. For some reason, they are spot on with my 300 rum though. A mid-load of rl25 on a 180 is right below 3300 fps, and that's what I get. 220 -225 grain loads are a different story with the rum, as you pretty much have to start at rock bottom and go up.
