I have been offered a great deal on a 300WM barrel, for my M03. Question - useful addition? - buy or avoid?

it will kill them, but so will a 243...
point I am makings that as a suitable calibre for Sika, I would say it is but have never used one. however, given the same bullets are available for it as I use in my 308, then it would be a good choice. especially if some of the distances are long for the shots and you want to use something like a 180grn.
if someone turned up to shoot rutting Sika stags with me and said they had 2 rifles to pick from, a 243 and a 300Win Mag, I would always suggest they brought the win mag...
Dont know if that helps one bit...

I have shot 12 rutting Sika stags with a .243 and been on my hands and knees looking for about 9 of them and sometimes needed a dogs assistance also. I recommend shooting them high shoulder with .243. I have just ordered a 7mm08 because I think the .243 is a bit under gunned for Sika stags.
