Kipper Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Has anyone used 300WM for Fopen ? I have a slot and considering it and passing my FTR rifle on to my son. I know 300WSM is common so maybe a variation is needed instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 It has been used especially in the US but has very adherents. The reason for this is recoil. Very few shooters are able to tolerate extended fire with a round of that power without accuracy suffering. Just because someone can tolerate a grunty sporter for a few rounds doesn't mean they will be able to handle a WM or WSM in FO. But hey, you may be the rare exception.

Kipper Posted July 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 We have a few WSM in our club, I may ask for a few round to test out to see the recoil in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No i deer Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 I know a texan shooter has recently changed too 300wm and its produced so very accurate results.. Some of the top US American f open shooters have tried this rifle and liked it so yes its a goer on no freebore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meles meles Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Forgive us our misunderstanding (it's a small brain issue), but is F Open an unlimited class regarding rifle weight? If so, recoil needn't be an issue if the rifle is heavy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 10 kilos and no muzzle brakes - if I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorg Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 I would strongly recommend you acquire the bullet tips first or pick the calibre by seeing what is available, the popular tips used by most 300wsm shooters are in very short supply.
