The 300 wm is an extremely popular round in western Canada , with heavier premium bullets it works well on the larger species of big game up close or at extended range.I've used this caliber off and on over the years and have alot of respect for its capability.That being said I have used the 30-06 and 308 on moose ( also with premium bullets) and both rounds work well within their range limitations which,according to most is about 2000 fpe on target. The longest shot I've ever taken on a moose or an elk for that matter was at most 175 yrds ( 900 lbs plus bull moose ) with a 30-06 loaded with a 180 gr nosler partition at just over 2600 fps at the muzzle.One shot behind the shoulder , he went about 30 to 40 yrds , which they seem to do no matter what you shoot them with and that was it.
I guess what I'm trying to say is , if you're coming here to hunt and you own an 06 or a 308 that you shoot well with good bullets, bring it, as most game here is taken at ranges where the 300wm's long range advantage isn't really needed. good hunting ab
