300 WSM vs 30 BOO BOO

[JamesnTN]

I'm looking to have a 30 cal barrel chambered in one of the mentioned calipers. My intent is 1000 yard BR shooting the 180-200 grain bullets. Starting off with the 187 BIBS until I've depleted those and then most likely the Berger 185 and 200 grain hybrids.

My question is between the 300 WSM and the 30 BOO BOO which will provide overall most accuracy and consistency? I'm unsure of what quality brass is available for the WSM but I do know the RWS brass in which I have is of high quality.
If anyone with experience between either of these calibers I'd appreciate your input.

Only Nosler/Norma/Win brass is available for the WSM, though RWS does make loaded WSM it's only available in europe and sky high in price if you can find it.

I've known a couple people with BooBoos and they have been served well by them. The BooBoo is very close in powder/velocity performance to a WinMag, isn't very popular because of the brass forming work but if you don't mind that then it's a great cartridge.

I can't speak for the boo boo but the WSM is hard to beat. 210's have served me well, this year I tried 200 hybrid's and they too seem to work very well.

The WSM is a very popular and successful cartridge in the 1000 yard game, I'm not sure I would look any further in a 30 caliber than a WSM

If you have the brass, go with the Boo Boo IMO. That RWS x68 brass is god's gift to shooters from everything Ive heard, some of the most indestructible large primer cases on the market.
