Which 300?

[muskrat30]

I wanted a 300 mag a year ago(no I didn't NEED one) & chose an A-Bolt 300WSM. I don't plan one useing it for deer since I have 3 308's, a few 243's, & a 284 win. I also load mostly all my ammo, though I think the 300WSM will be around for awhile. I have a baited black bear hunt planned next fall & my mid-level loads show the Nosler partitions launched at 2810fps from my gun. Of your choices I would get a 300 mag or the short mag. Yes you would be happy with the 300WSM. If you don't have a 30 cal yet you do have a hole to fill. There are just so many options with all the bullets available. I also loaded some lower recoil rounds with H 4895 & cheap 150 grn FMJ bullets while I was getting my scope setup.
