A rifleman who practices with his hunting rifle and varmint rifles during the offseason can make shots on elk at 450 or so yards and I have done it a couple of times.
I totally agree with this statement. If you are buying a 300WM to do 450yrd shots, I would first learn/practice how to call elk, bring them in (thats the fun part) and stalk to within closer ranges to make a good clean kill.
Comparing 180gr bullets in each caliber, the 300WM will have more velocity and delivery more energy at 450yrds.
