Go with the 300 WSM, it handles a 210 Berger quite well and it is starting to DOMINATE the 1000 yard range in Williamsport, PA. it will send a 210 Berger out the end of the barrel at 2930 very easy, you can drive it harder but that seems to be the sweet spot. You build a 300 WSM with a 30" 11 twist barrel and throat it for 210's you will not be disappointed. The last on I built is DEADLY!! A 10 twist will work too. The first one I did has that and it works pretty good too.

I'm not knocking a 300 Win mag but just about everytime you see the 2 compete against each other the WSM comes out on top.

At this match 3 of the top 10 were 300WSM's The 300 Morton is a very slightly altered 300WSM
