[QUOTE="brentc, post: 655623, member: 16938"] I've got a 300 WSM EW and it shoots great. I've shot several groups measuring less than .30 MOA. Mine dotes on heavy bullets from 200 grain Accubonds, to 230 grain Bergers. My current load is 210 grain Berger at 2825 to 2850 fps. The last time I shot, it printed a 1.25" 4 shot group at 330 yards off the bipod. the Winchester WSM actions offer a lot of wiggle room for reloads. If you are considering a WSM of any kind, the Win. is the one to get because the action and magazine are a bit longer than other WSM offerings, allowing you seat bullets out to the lands and maintain the use of the magazine. I can reliably feed an OAL of 3.015 through the magazine, where others may be lucky to reach 2.865 The only thing I don't particularly care for is the MOA trigger Winchester uses now. As with several other factory triggers, this one just doesn't have enough adjustment and there aren't enough quality replacement options available. I was able to get mine to an acceptable level by adjusting it as light as I could get it, then I added one of Ernie's light weight springs. It's crisp, and I can shoot it well, but I would still like it about a pound lighter. [/QUOTE]
