[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2217431, member: 101791"] Between the 300 WM and the 308 Norma M. I and a friend of mine use 165gr ballistic tips on deer and elk with doing a great job. I have used the 308NM on 6 or 7 elk at yardage out to 400 yards, and putting them down. I have punch one elk bull from one end to the other. The only thing was we were pushing the 300WM at 3400fps, and my 308NM at 3300fps. I have used the 308NM in Africa, and same load, and my son also with very good performance. (both barrel are 26") In Africa I felt that the 165 was a little light. Next time I step up to a 338 WM with 200gr Accubond @ 3230fps. All were one shot kills. Recoil I moved to a Muzzle Brake. It change the 338 to a little pup dog. So I would look into a Muzzle Brake to tame that rifle. Personal I feel the brake is money well spent. I never let the recoil get the best of me, but why get beat up, when you can reduce that. [/QUOTE]
