[QUOTE="JJMoody, post: 1245066, member: 89869"] It may be unjustified on my part, but the thought of a 308 win over the 300 wsm on elk gives me the same feeling as watching the Seahawks kicker miss a field goal in OT for the win and settling for a tie. Not a loss but still not the win! At the range a couple weeks ago I watched a rather small guy shooting his 300rum with a thunder beast can, it looked very pleasant and sounded even better. It was a heavier rifle, built for lr but apples to apples, I think the same rifle platform would serve better in a 300 short mag than 308. They'll both kill, the 308 is a fantastic round, but does lose out on horsepower. Even my Lightweight un-braked 300 wsm was a pleasure to shoot. Neither will feel like your 223 but neither are a 223.
