RE: Is the .300 WSM any good?
I've got a .300 WSM M70 stainless and I really like it. It's noticably more handly than a comparable .300 win mag or .30-06 and gives better velocity than the .30-06. I'm not that impressed by velocity so I feel that anything the .300 win mag will do the .300 WSM will also, but in a handier package. If something needs killing more than the .300 WSM will do then I've got the .375 H&H for that.
If it's not your life, you have no right to end it.
