[QUOTE="Frank in the Laurels, post: 1156814, member: 8845"] Hi Killer Bees... To be honest .300 wm were very seldom ever seen at the matches ! The reason being recoil, during a match the average shooter usually shoots 40-60 shots....15 for score plus sighters...40 plus shots off a bench with a .300wm is not for the faint of heart by any stretch !! That being said the ones that did show up always were extremely competitive, plus their handlers were usually world class shooters from Williamsport 1000... When the wind blew those big .30 cal bullets really held their own, plus there is an abundance of awesome .308 cal bullets being made. The little guns would usually shoot 1/2-3/4 in 5 shot groups at 200 yards, it was hard for the .300's to handle that but when the ranges went to 300-400-500 and the wind blew you could see a big difference in handling the wind....most of them were in the heavy unlimited class , at 500 it was not unusual to be sub 2 inch 5 shot groups, some smaller and some bigger. If I were picking a one cartridge hunting rifle this would be it without question, great bullets available, lots of superb brass, tons of reloading info, and it's hard to beat .30 cal killing power !!
