[QUOTE="ehryk, post: 1069283, member: 29343"] I have a .300 WSM that started life as a sporter weight. I shot everything from 150s to 220s through it and honestly, until you went prone, none of those were horrible. Once prone, I could shoot 15 to 20 of the 220s and done. Once I rebuilt it into a long range gun, I can shoot the 220s all day prone and be fine. Something I discovered by accident, if you the load 220 SMK the same length to the ogive as the MK 316 (~ 2.815 COAL), it gets pretty darn accurate. Get it up to 2850 or so with a 26" barrel and it is pretty boring at 500 yards. Also, something about that .300 WSM, the barrels don't burn out like most magnums. I had over 4000 rounds through my sporter barrel and while I had moved the throat forward over 60 thou, it wasn't cracked as bad as the smith was expecting. One very good match shooter also won a match with a .300 WSM that had well over 4000 rounds through it. Ok, I wandered a bit there. [/QUOTE]
