I think he was runnin Barnes 180 gr ttsx. Have to confirm.
Same 300 wsm couple years ago - this one did go 200 yards with behind shoulder shot. Any caliber below 338 I suggest shoulder shot unless you have good recovery visibility. Any caliber over 400 yards I would aim for shoulder.
I voted for the 300wsm, mine is a lazer. I have a couple awesome 6.5's but at a measly 143grn maximum they leave a little to be desired in terminal ballistics despite what the koolaid drinkers say. If I were to do it again I would go with the 7wsm. The high end of the 7mm pills really starts to pull away from the crowd at longer ranges, if your into that kinda thing ....
A lot of those measly 140 grain bullets are moving well into the 3000s Certainly nothing wrong with the 7mm
I have a benchmark built 300WSM on a short action with a varmint taper barrel w/benchmark miller brake. It rides in a pillar and glass bedded Mcmillan M40A1 stock. It shoot lights out with every bullet powder combination I've put through it. It shoots bughole groups at 200 yards with 200 grain Hornady ELD-X. The 300WSM is an inherently accurate cartridge. You will not be disappointed going with a custom build in this chambering.

You ever shoot the Barnes/Hammer or similar copper bullets through yours? I like the idea of it being inherently accurate and easy to obtain loads for. I have yet to hear someone say something negative about it besides it's a boring chambering.I never would've guessed how lopsided the voting would be either!
