was comparing factory 300 WSM ammo vs my handloads ...
not your 7 mm with wHornady [bleep] bullets, Alaskan game deserves a better & more honorable death than by wHorenady garbage
in my world I shoot 7mm 195 and 197 gr bullets at 3250-3300 fps, not something your pea brain can imagine without terror over recoil, I'm used to seeing 1.0 bc and above as "high bc" .796 bc is nowhere near high bc unless you're a friggin Creediot shooting the little pansy cartridges because "recoil & barrel life" cause you night terrors and bed wetting So you are saying 195gr Berger bullet and 197gr SMK are better than Hornady for hunting in Alaska?

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Norma has their 180gr Bonded Tip on sale for $45. Shot 1/2" out of my Classic 70 and at 3080fps with .615 BC it's a killer on anything that walks out to 900yds...what's not to like.

Got ahold of 60 pieces of brass 300WSM. I'll load some up for the kids and see what it's like. I don't want to be sending spendy hunting bullets initially but have an bunch of old Nosler Ballistic tips and Hornady SST to use up. I'll let them try those initially and then look at some elk bullets.
I've killed lots of things with the ballistic tips and SST Hornady but it was in 308win velocity window and a lot of that was out of the Ruger scout rifle with its abbreviated barrel. I'm certain the 300WSM is a bit harder on bullets where the little 308 is boringly reliable and kind.
