I understand where you are coming from. I scoffed at the 300wm for years. I killed as many or more deer with my 30-30 than my buddies did with 300wm. The main reason I bought a 300wm to begin with was to hunt elk, which hasn't happened yet.. But I was also smart enough to realize that when I started hunting places that offered 300 to 500yd shots, the 30-30 was causing me to pass up deer that I could have taken with a 300wm. Now that I have one and first hand see the difference in trajectory and lethality, I understand the popularity a little better.
