I'm dealing with third degree burns in parts of my body that don't need to have burns.

You need to wear some asbestos bubble wrap. Always.
I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.
You should try lotion. Going dry is for the birds.

IMO it depends on your objective. Take a look at energy downrange as well as trajectory and you might just find your answer there.

Thats actually what I'm having a hard time with. 175 grain .300WM Sierra HPBT is running an average of 2800 FPS even though it's still a .308 diameter round. I'm trying to find what a .300 will do that an actual .308 can't to justify another platform. I saw the guy who owns Sniper's Paradise say that they were pushing .300WM to 1900 yards, but I just don't see how they're hitting that without blowing chambers. I'm pretty dedicated to getting answers on this though.
I'm honestly starting to see if I want to dedicate another platform to the ELR zone that it will need to have far superior qualities, like a .338 and load heavy with a super high BC.
I'm loading the .300WM data currently to find out what the trans-sonic zone and find where it falls off the table. I'll post what I find.
I think you're on to something there.

Someone feel free to do the math behind me, but this is what I found;
A SMK 175 gr HPBT for .300WM, at a 1000 yds will have 1361 FPS with 719 FT-LBS, going subsonic at 1200 yds.
A SMK 175 gr HPBT for .308, at a 1000 yds will have 1185 FPS with 546 FT-LBS, going subsonic at 1100 yds.
It would take some radical load development to invest in a .300WM if I already owned a .308.
