[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2693394, member: 106514"] Avoid short action SAAMI cartridges with heavy for caliber bullets. If you think the Win Mag leaves something on the table, a WSM or SAUM with a 215gr VLD will guarantee your meal to be untouched. You'll have to stuff the boattail so deep in those short cases that velocity will suffer greatly. The short magnums run with the big dog in lighter weight profiles, but the 300 Win starts to separate itself from its shorter kinfolk around the 180grain mark. If you want more performance/efficiency, check out the .300 PRC. It's built to get as much performance as you can get out of a heavy .30cal bullet. The Shermans will be better than the short mags and the Max probably better than the PRC if you can get enough brass and perform any final forming that may or may not be necessary. The .30 Nosler is also a very efficient design with more performance than the .300 Win. If you're trying to go lower in powder consumption without sacrificing performance, the Sherman would probably be the ticket, brass permitting. [/QUOTE]
