I see your logic, you could also try the 200 gr. accubond and run the more accurate of the two (180 vs. 200). The trajectory of the 200 accubond should be very similar in the 300 wsm as compared to your 165 gr. load in the 30-06. I'm a "dyed in the wool" 30-06 fan and have recently had my eyes opened to the 300 wsm: My wsm is more accurate than any of my 30-06's and it hits harder, what more could you ask for. I'm thinking I'll even use it for long range deer hunting this year. However, if I were to use it on elk, I'd probably opt for the 200 accubond regardless of the range I were shooting. Take care.
