The 300 WSM shines just fine as is. What's not to shine about it? A short action=stiffer and lighter than a long action. A powder column that allows all of it's charge to propel the projectile onward. Case life is phenomenal. With time in the lab the ballisticians have found some powders that...
For you guys that use a chargemaster tyoe..
How long does it take to spew out a charge.
Normal charges...like say 45 grains to 75 grains how long does it typically take?
Do you find them to be spot on accurate as well?
I've always just thrown my charge out the Hornady thrower and if ball/flake powder it's on the money every time.
stick powder i drop it less about a grain and trickle the rest in.
The other day I ran into an issue.
I needed to throw 120 grains and my thrower only does 116 ish.
Trickling...
Are you saying the Barnes performed badly in accuracy or terminal performance?
On your 120 and your 100gr bullets I wonder if the Bob isn't quite fast enough for it if you're talking terminal performance.
Accuracy...maybe more the same.
I remember the old fail safe bullets and they liked to...

I'd take the WSM 30 cal over any of the 30 cal for any application.
Especially if I can only have one cartridge to do everything...
Most definitely the 300wsm
If that round would have come out in the 60's it would be more revered than the 308, plusvwould've been the sniper round of choice for...
I've said this before and will say it again.
The shooting, hunting and outdoor trade market is by far the most trendy driven industry in the hobby and extracurricular segment. Without question far and away number one.

Every May 5th from 5-6 p.m. let's salute the constitution by letting an AR-15 eat 25 rounds of ammo 😎🚬

25 rounds?
5+5+6+4+5
Thx for sharing...
What is the weapon that 30 kong is chambered in?
I can't make out the stampings on the receiver. The spiral fluted bolt I recognize but not with that style of safety.
Well...the Ballistic Silver Tip for me has always shot every bit as good as the regular BT but...
The fouling ....
The lubalox coating absolutely helps in ridding any and all foreign matter in the bbl. That was my findings.

There is still no DO-all bullet made. Bullet tech is much improved over let's say 25 years ago but you can't get around tough on...
I value the real world opinion of shooters on this forum. Most here don't fib about knowing things they don't really have knowledge of.
