300 WS
The overall cartridge length is 72.6 mm. The cartridge case length is 53.34 mm. The bullet diameter is .308 in (7.82 mm), which is common to all U.S. .30 caliber cartridges. The principle at work in the short magnum cartridge is the fitting of larger volumes of powder in closer proximity to the primer’s flash hole, resulting in more-uniform ignition. .300 WSM has a case capacity of 80 grains of H2O. The .30-06 Springfield holds 69 grains of H2O; .308 Winchester holds 56 grains of H2O; 30-30 Winchester holds 45 grains of H2O. The .300 Winchester Magnum has a case capacity of 93.8 grains of H2O. While providing ballistic performance nearly identical to that of the .300 Winchester Magnum, 300 WSM does this with about 14 grains less powder. The .300 WSM also head-spaces off of the case shoulder, versus the older .300 Winchester Magnum’s belted head space design.
The advantage to this round is ballistic performance nearly identical to the .300 Winchester Magnum[2] in a lighter rifle with a shorter action burning 8 – 10% less gunpowder. A disadvantage of cartridge case designs with relatively large case head diameters lies in relatively high bolt thrust levels exerted on the locking mechanism of the employed firearm. Also, in small ring actions the larger chamber diameter removes more steel from the barrel tenon, making it weaker radially.

My Browning loves this ammo. Best shooting factory ammo I’ve tried so far. 200 yard, 2 inch,3 shot groups all day long. Blackened nickel cases look as good as it shoots. I need more please.

I used the Edge TLR 200 Grain in my Model 70 Winchester, .300 WSM on elk this October. I sighted the rifle at 100 yards for a 200 yard zero. The three shot group was under 3/4 inch. Far and away the best group I have ever shot with factory ammo. Not having a chance to verify the trajectory at longer range. I entered the data off the box into my Strelok program. . Tweaked the data with temperature and altitude. My partner ranged the elk at 570 yards, elevated my scope according to the Strelok data, and squeezed the shot off. The elk dropped in it’s tracks. The bullet hit exactly where I aimed and performed perfectly. Small entry hole, explosive expansion in lung cavity and half dollar size exit hole. This bullet’s performance told me several things, Federal’s ballistic data is spot on, it is extremely accurate and it’s terminal performance is exceptional. This will be my 1st choice for a hunting bullet in the future.
