Any time you can cram 300Win performance,into a short action,sign me up. It isn't just the velocity(to me). It is the overall case design and balanced nature of the round. Assuming brass of good quality,I'm guessing it will rival the 308Win,in raw accuracy potential. Couple capable speeds,with intrinsic accuracy,and you have my FULL attention. Is it better than everything else? Tough call. But flip it over. If the 300WSM was here first,who the hell would want a long action chambering,that only duplicated it's performance? Not I. So I will gladly roll the dice,and give it a fair try. If it sucks,I'll rebarrel IMMEDIATELY,to a 257-300WSM..........

It sucks when your old posts come back to bite you in the ass.

Hit something with a 165gr X out of a BIG 30cal and you'll remain forever impressed. I won't cuss anyone's pet cartridge or pet load,but the 165X stands alone,regarding IMPRESSIVE...........

Ya Nut,
Pickin on Big Stick is just to easy.

Kinds feel guilty, like pickin on a retarded kid, oop's I mean special needs child.

You guys remind me of hecklers at a Rodney Dangerfield show, you know you'll get crushed but you do it anyway.

Easy now, he's a handicap, he somehow got half of both legs cut off!

Sugar tits (Larry) post some pictures of you and the gamer,say In the last two years. That's what I thought he knows your a fckn jack azz and won't give you a second of his time. But tell yourself you are the best. LOL. Father of the year what 7 years now running.


PS beers free sales not needed.
Do tell more about that fancy m1 in 25-06. 🤥
Post a pic of that bad boy. 😂😂😂
What's worse being full of crap or having everyone know you are full of crap. Mills is buying a third pony for the next Christmas tree rat slaughter. Has Dirty dave had time away from his busy schedule to watch you shoot lately. Good talk!!! waiting for your response curdled in the fetal position crying on the floor. You can use that last line it would fit better than you're on the ropes cause we all know you can't reach the bottom rope.

That is a 'miniature' Boxer ! !

bs is just waiting to tear you guys a new one,see here is a picture of him waiting to tear you guys a new one.

He can't tear TOILET paper to clean his mouth.

25-06 in a Garand is about the lamest thing I've heard of.

Phillip,

My allegiance to the 257Wby,is due to it's ability to capably burst the bubbles you mention.

It drops little,beats the wind well and hits hard on the receiving end. That she does it with modest recoil,sweetens the pot.

2 inches high at 100yds,she drops but 25 inches at 550yds. Let me say that again.....550yds. That with a proven Game projectile,that makes excellent use of it's inherent attributes. She drifts but 19 inches at that distance in a 10mph crosswind and impacts with 2450fps remaining velocity.

That'd be how one gets his cake and eats it too......................

I figure THAT,due to more than a smidge of familiarity with said cartridge.

Re-22 and the 100XLC offer said results,outta a 26" tube.

The combo lends itself well to precise placement of copious Mojo and the bolt action eeks such precision.

"Price" is subjective. I view that level of performance as being cheap insurance,on a sure thing. A chambering is no better than the projectile employed and in that diameter,at that speed,nuttin' is better IMHO.

I see you don't get out much and have the experience to prove it...........................

Can't make this schit up!

You just don't understand what cool is it's like naming your guns.

Hey,bs,does this .460 Wby have enough "copious Mojo?"

I see mojo here...
