The 300 WSM is a great caliber. I used one for about 10 years and shot quite a few elk and deer with it. It's very accurate. However, I added it up and found that there wasn't a single one of those animals that I couldn't have shot just as well with a 30-06. I bought an RAR that weighs a lb less than my 300 WSM. It's much more pleasant to the shoulder and legs.
