Disagree!
As a 7mm Rem Mag owner i must advise that with the factory twist rate in the commercial rifles it is in the hard way to get the total performance the projectile can produce. To achieve it you must load it "hot" enough so the velocity will carry the projectile at long distance without loose the spin and start to tumble.
I do understand that we have colleagues and friends in here that use it and is very successful but they may replace barrels more often than a "traditional" load will do to you.
Just my 0.02c.

(replace the barrel for a longer one and a faster twist (1-8.5" -1-9") and it will be the dream gun, or if you really want to go "ballistic" with your 300WM just replace the barrel for a little faster twist again(1-8.5" or 1-9") and use the berger 230gr, it will bit the 338 Lapua with 250gr all day(information from "Applied Ballistics")
