[QUOTE="ATH, post: 987331, member: 1656"] I own and love a 300WM. I do not and have never owned a 308. I voted 308, for the range specified. Personally I'd go 243AI though. I've used the 300WM at those ranges when I had to. It works fine but it's just so overkill for deer at that range. I let a guy shoot a 160 inch buck with my rifle at 400 yards one time...he took a Texas heart shot I was NOT happy he took...I was not there when they cleaned it but I was told by those who were that "they'd never seen an animal that destroyed inside". Apparently the 200AB destroyed everything up to the front of the chest cavity. For me the 300WM is great when you get north of 500 yards or step up in big game. For the situation described I'm happy to lighten up both the weight of the gun carried and the recoil. [/QUOTE]
