300 WSM & 165g HPBT

[PJgunner]

It's a good bullet, decently accurate but based on my shooting them In a 30-06, they might be a tad soft for the WSM.
Only critter I ever shot was coyote up im Nevada quite a few years back. It was about the time Sierra brought them out. Guess they'd been on the market maybe 6 months at the time. Anyway, the "yote" was mayber 200, 250 yards out when I took the shot. I'm thinking the bullet must have hit the spine as when I went to pick up the "yote" to skin it out, I found a two piece coyote. I didn't make any money of that one, that's for sure. We were deer hunting at the time or I'd have been using the .243. Maybe Siera has toughened that bullet up over the years although they did say it was a big game bullet, even way back then. I just bought up a bulk deal of 500 of those bullets so if I draw for deer this year, I'll ry them in my .308 as I like that weight bullet for that rounds. I might see how they work in a .300 Win. mag. but I still think they might be too soft.
