Never lost an animal up to 645 yards.
Its a pussy to shoot with a suppressor. 150 to 212 grain projectiles and my accubond 180 grain gets a tad over 2920 fps. Lozt a number of animals with the 270 as they didnt fall over straight away. ...CAUSE I NEGLECTED TO TAKE OUT FRONT WHEELS AND/OR WAS USING WRONG PROJECTILE TYPE.
Never ever had that with the wsm....YET,WATCH THIS SPACE....

capitals are my input LOL.
the OP wants to go unsuppressed...which is going to make it a tad more loud as soon as powder capacity gets up to or above say 60grains......
your .308 will push the same projectiles out slower..so a hundred yard .308 shot is same as a 3-400 from your magnum......
but horses for courses it would be a boring world if we all did things the same way with the same stuff.
