The 300WM is replacing the 338 Lapua due to its inherent agility to keep the right bullet supersonic much farther that the 308 or 06, and nearly as far as the Lapua with much less rifle.
Damn few of us regular humans are capable of taking advantage of what any of them can really do when fully optimized. None of us hunters need to.
I'm a fan of 30 cal rifles, and believe the 300 Savage is the most underestimated deer caliber out there. Not much I would not hunt, confidently, with a Savage, 308, or 06.
