Only if I would’ve known, then what I know now 300 WSM. Haven’t seen any ammo on the shelf in three years. 300win everywhere Thank you Winchester for inventing a cartridge that I cannot buy ammo for.
It is difficult to find ammo, but if you search hard enough it’s available. Depending on what part of the country you’re in, you might find some Hornady factory loaded ammo. I found some while I was in Texas a while back
@@TNRay yes I do just got some RCBS dies for 300 wsm. That was not my point. Point being I am sure that people that don’t reload wish they would’ve went with 300 win..
@erich44magnum I just don’t like the case design behind the WM. The WSM is significantly more efficient and less likely to have case separations because of the belt on the WM. Sometimes the finer things in life are worth a little more work 😉 but I completely understand the lack of availability makes it difficult to get started with the WSM
Just watched the video very nice rifle ... I built a semi custom 300wsm on a tikka action with an international barrels carbon fiber wrapped barrel fully expoxy bedded and its my do everything and anything hunting rifle. You should put a good quality gill brake instead of that old school 360 degree ported muzzle brake unless you never plan to be prone on the ground while out hunting ? Those 360 ported brake will give you a face full or dirt lol... I'm just being picky I've never like that style of brake for that reason
Sounds like a pretty cool build! I actually decided, after filming the original video, to get a 30 cal suppressor and it will be a permanent suppressor host now. I prefer hunting with a suppressor over a brake any day
Good luck finding a supply of any WSM brass and I only know of Bertram brass as of now that makes 300 & 325 WSM Brass. I build for sale AR 10 uppers on the WSM magnum cartridges. My own AR 10 WSM rifle is on 375 WSM. I did find a online site selling once fired 300 WSM brass that I bought from then converted the 300 WSM to 375 WSM brass and loaded the casings.
Thanks, it is difficult to find but I got a 50 count once fired container of Norma brass from Choice Munitions a month or so back. I’ve got a little bit of Hornady and Winchester factory ammo as well. Hard to find, not cheap, but well worth it
@@TNRay I have AR 10 358 WSM & 375WSM upper orders once brass is available again. The Alaska shops are drooling over getting restarted selling this big bore AR 10 uppers.
Great question. I had it all figured up at one point, but I didn’t include it in the video because I got discounts on almost every piece and got free machine work from my sponsor… I think it was over 4k
True. I didn’t tell the price. Because I purchased a majority using discount programs, and I am sponsored by the company that performed the machine work. So I have no true judgement on how expensive it would be for the average person, honestly
Defiance anti Action: $1645.00 AG Composite stock: $750 Hawkins Precision M5 DBM kit: $320 Proof Research Carbon Wrap barrel: $799 Timney Elite Hunter: $175 Gun builder fee from $600 to $2500 depending on who you use That's the fee list for your avg guy buying parts from the various suppliers online Those who are working in the shooting and custom rifle building business get some impressive discounts. Example: high end actions at half price, say, if you happen to make and sell suppressors and you have a gentleman's business agreement with a business that makes custom actions. In fairness to the OP, he should not post prices he gets but anyone can search these items online and get prices. The reason I know what they are is by looking at my own receipts. Parts alone with shipping can easily run you to $4000. The nice thing is if you're choosy, and have to order what you want from the manufacturer, you'll wait months to a year or more for some items and you have that time to save money up or pay over time
I purchased most of these items a year and a half to 2 years ago. The prices I paid were less, even if I had paid retail, than what you’d pay now. That’s why I didn’t want to discuss the numbers. Plus, if you use a builder and they are dealers for certain companies, they get a much better price than someone ordering direct from the mfg.
I got to see it in pieces. Need to see the finished product in real life!
You will get your chance, I may even let you take it for a spin 😉
Just bought my second 300wsm. My friend just bought one too. They are making a comeback. Picked the wsm over a 7 PRC.
That’s awesome! I would love to see this cartridge make a revival in the market

@TNRay that's deadly unfortunately up here in Canada that's not an option lol
@@alexsantrau ahh that stinks! No difference in a suppressor and a muffler on a car to me lol
Awesome
Thanks brother!
What is the barrel life for the 300wsm, I just picked up a proof bighorn origin prefit in 300wsm for a sweet deal, $440 for a 24” prefit
That’s an awesome deal!
In my research, I’ve found it should last well over 5k, but it all depends on how you load it and what your rate of fire is
Let me know when you slide over to Dead Zero!
You bet! I’ll keep you posted
was thinking 20 inch barrel plus suppressor
20 inch would be fine but you’ll lose a significant amount of velocity
Ok where is the long range footage? 😀
Need to stretch its legs, haven’t had the opportunity yet 😅
Um... you didn't talk about why the 300 WSM???😮
I meant to. But I definitely will in the next video I make with it

@@TNRay OK,anyway it looks made verry consistent by a serious gunsmith therefore the final price shut be anyway adequate.
