IME with 180gr Nosler BT bullets loaded sanely the 300WSM is good for 3000fps, the 300 WM 3100fps, 300 Weatherby 3200fps and the 300 RUM 3300fps. I currently own all of these save the 300 Weatherby. My favorite right now is probably the 300wsm. It kicks quit a bit less than the others and the particular rifle it's chambered in, which was purchased from forum member Brad, is an absolute drill with just about any load I have tried in it. I used the Barnes 175 LRX this year on one elk with it, my brother on another while I was with him and a friend on a third that I didnt get to see. All of them died pronto. Has me thinking about selling the others honestly.
