300 WSM Berger 200.20x vs 205 elite hunter

[FEENIX]

2820 for me--- if you can find the 215s --- if you ate just starting out it probably better to choose a more available bullet though-- probably why op is asking.

I think they have a 208 that is similar to the 215 also iirc

I agree.

Are these loads in a short action or long action? What barrel length? TIA.

Short- 24"- win xpr lr (factory poly det. mag) for me

I know the latest trend is to load a 300 WSM in a long action but...... The idea of a short action sending 200 plus grain bullets at 2800 fps with the powder charges I'm seeing has me rethinking all this. Looks like all the elk medicine I'll ever need and a fun rifle to shoot targets out to distance.

Custom Defiance SA with Wyatt's extended box in CENTER feed. Center feed is the key for reliable feeding and an extra bit of internal box length. Barrel is a 26 inch Bartlein 3B fluted.

There's a Howa 1500 stainless locally for sale in 300 wsm. I'm trying to research it before making a trade offer. It has the Hogue stock on it.

From a 26" barrel I can push the 200.20x a bit over 2900fps with h4831 even in fairly soft brass. In the new adg brass I hit 2950 with no pressure signs. From a 24" I was around 2850fps.

Haven't shot an animal with them yet, but I did place ok at a couple club f-class matches. The accuracy is pretty stellar for me. I might have to give them a try this fall on an elk and see how they do.

Does the center feed mag box limit you to two WSM rounds in the magazine? What bottom metal are you using?

Wyatt's extended magazine and I think I can get three in there, but can't remember for sure.
