[QUOTE="davidheart, post: 2659517, member: 119362"] As previously stated you could down load the 300WM pretty easily to 30-06 or 308 velocities. Just because you have a 300WM doesn't mean you have to shoot max speed. Bullet selection and shot placement (behind the shoulder) also plays a huge roll in meat loss. Pro-tip: head over to the Cast Boolits forum if you really want to get in the weeds for what your rifle could do. I used my 308 to hunt squirrel when 22lr ammo was so hard to find. Edit: I just scooted over to the Cast Boolits forum. It appears Accurate 2400, Unique, and H4895 will treat you well and make ~1800fps cast bullet loads. I won't publish that data here but your options are out there. [/QUOTE]
