Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting meaningful difference between 30 06 and 300 wsm?

I planning a non trophy elk hunt this fall.
I am told I should get a look at a smaller bull.
I am actually just a meat hunter anyway.

Currently I hunt with a 30 06.
My do all load is a 165g nosler AB.

Problem is I have a 300 wsm that I have not shot yet.
If I did I would start with the H 4350 and a 180g nosler AB.

In my case is there a meaningful difference between 30 06 and 300 wsm under 400 yards?

Would you suggest a different bullet to start with for the 300?
