300WSM loaded with 175GR Barnes acceptable for Moose and Bear? Does anyone on here hunt with 300WSM? Or is more rifle needed? Thanks.
So....you pretty much got a .30-'06.....
.....yeah, that'll work...
Thanks a lot for the info! Really appreciate it, and great story! My wife picked me up a hells canyon 300 short mag for Valentine’s Day, just put a Leupold LRP on it for glass, planning on taking it to Alaska for moose and brown bear next fall.That's plenty of gun for moose and bear especially with a Barnes bullet. My first moose dropped at the shot when he charged me at 11 yards using a 300 win mag and a 180 gr. Barnes TSX. The bullet hit him in a thick portion of his antler and still continued on through his neck, spine and shoulder. I found it under the skin a bit behind the shoulder and it had shed all 4 petals. 300 WSM is close enough to the win mag.
I've used the .300WSM nearly exclusively since 2006, everything was shot with the 180gr Accubond bullet.
No survivors.
My son and I both use 300wsm. Have taken down moose, elk and bear with no issues.300WSM loaded with 175GR Barnes acceptable for Moose and Bear? Does anyone on here hunt with 300WSM? Or is more rifle needed? Thanks.
What bullet are you shooting, and if you are hand loading what’s your recipe?! Thanks!!My son and I both use 300wsm. Have taken down moose, elk and bear with no issues.
To boost your confidence in your 300, I hammered my bull with 30-06 180grain tsx and it blew through his femur, pump house, and out through the outside shoulder at 200 yards. He kicked all four legs up like he had been struck by lightning. I think...I know you will be fine with that round. It's the old adage--shot placement, shot placement, shot placement

Yep, it broke the humerus in half and punched through the lower part of the other shoulder with out damaging too much meat at all. I was a little surprised by the passthrough and it made me wonder if the tsx penciled. Got lucky and hit one of the ventricles on the way through which made his expiration almost immediate. Fortunately he died laying on his good leg so when I was done with the broken side I used his legs from underneath to roll him over...was still a pain in the ass though. my back was stiff for a month
