I'd question whether with a 22" barrel the difference really is 250ft/sec

I'm comfortably 2800ft/sec with 180s from my 22" 3006.

The 300 wm is really gonna want a 24+ to get max performance. With some googlefu at 22" 300wm is 100ft/sec slower than a 24+

I think you will find a 180 from a 22" 300 win mag is around 2900ft/sec.

Now for 210gr vlds. A bit different.

But for 180s definitely wouldn't bother

"I think you will find a 180 from a 22" 300 win mag is around 2900ft/sec"

Makes sense.
BTW what's the intended game at what distances?

I can just see it now. Pigs with a speed radar, checking the projectile speed just before it hits. Nope not gonna die that's 100fps too slow. :lol:

funny as it may be, the point originally made still stands, there is no gain over the 30-06 at that range/barrel length in that weight or higher projectile.

While it is fine to post questions around these topics, you will usually get biased answers, ( for and against ) and also ones from people with no experience with the cartridge in question.
Best to do some research on the ballistics yourself, ( as you have done for the .338 Fed. ) see if it fits your purpose, dreams, then maybe some real world experience from other users of said cartridge can be sought to help with your decision.

Yes, I think we scared OP away. :unknown:
