Likes and Dislikes of the .300wsm...
Any consumer reports on this caliber from members would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. |

I don't personally own one, but I did sight one in for a buddy the other day. It was a Tikka T3 Lite Stainless, and the recoil was very minimal on it, and it put 3 shots in a nice lil cluster. Thats my only experience with that cartridge, sorry no on game performance reviews.

I don't like the .300 WSM because it as billed as something it isn't, a .300 Win Mag killer, the .300 WSM is also not very good with 200+ grain bullets, all in all, if you want a 300 Magnum get the Long Action .300 Win Mag.

Also, ammo for the .300 WSM is more expensive and harder to find.

I have two 300 WSMs and like them both. I started out with a "custom" Thompson Encore with Virgin Valley 300 WSM barrel and liked it so much that I bought 300 WSM barrel for my Blaser R-93. I have only shot Winchester Supreme 150 gr ballistic tips in my guns, but their performance has been super (under 1" at 100 yards and never had a deer take a step).

The reason I asked is because I am transferring from University of Alaska to a school back home in Texas. Where whitetails and mulies will be primarily what I hunt. I have a 300 wby right now and I absolutely love it! Yet I want a more compact size rifle that still packs a punch. After hunting with my 300 wby for several years, I just want to make sure that I wont be disappointed with the persormance if I indeed get a 300 wsm.

ORIGINAL: Chantecler111 Also, ammo for the .300 WSM is more expensive and harder to find. If you have a 300 wby that you like, I don't see any reason to change. If can kill deer in Alaska, then you can sure kill deer in Texas. |

I am not arguing the fact that you can buy cheap ammo for 300 win mag, but if you compare apples and apples, I would bet the prices are not too far apart. I personally only shoot "premium" ammo in all my guns. I shoot Hornady LeverEvolutions in my 30-30, and Winchester Supremes in most everything else. My experiences with "cheap" ammo is that you get what you pay for.
