.300WM

Overview


.300WM (Winchester Magnum) is a sniper calibre. It hits hard and goes far, it is a great middle ground between 7.62x51 and .338 Lapua Magnum.

.300WM FMJ


.300WM FMJ is a copper jacketed round capable of decent accuracy, range and penetration. 

.300WM Lead Soft Tip


.300WM Lead Soft Tip (LST) is a variant of the .300WM designed for hunting game such as deer and other bigger animals. Lead soft tip rounds are similar to FMJ however the tip is left exposed and replaced with a soft piece of lead, upon impact the lead will assist with the round expanding inside of the target therefore doing more internal damage than other ammunition. However any form of barrier penetration suffers.

.300WM Subsonic


.300WM Subsonic is designed for usage at short distances for hunting with a suppressor. The subsonic nature of the round means there is no subsonic crack down range making the round quieter. However as a result the effective range is massively reduced.

.300WM AP (Armour Piercing)


.300WM AP is designed specifically for penetrating 

.300WM Mk.248


M995 AP is a armour piercing tungsten core giving it exceptional armour piercing capabilities. It has average performance on par with M855A1 however it is inferior at range due to the projectile being heavier than it's counterparts. It has no additional variations.

.300WM Tracer


M193 ball is the first type of ammunition first adopted for the M16 platform. M193 is higher velocity than most 5.56 however it possesses inferior armour penetration capabilities to M855. It is inferior at range in comparison to almost every type of 5.56. It has the following variations:

  • M196 Tracer Red

.300WM Swine Smashers


6.5 Grendel 162gr Hunter is a round designed for hunting big game such as bears and moose. It out performs almost every type of 5.56 in soft tissue damage and armour penetration. However due to its increased cartridge size magazines are restricted to 24 rounds. It has no additional variations.

Understanding the Stats


Hit TypicalSpeed AirFriction Caliber
Hit is the potential damage capability of the round. The higher the number the better, however if it has a low typicalspeed, high airfriction or a low caliber the damage will drop off massively from its Hit stat. Typical speed is the typical speed that the ammunition will travel at. It is measured in meters per second. Ammunition below 350 m/s is subsonic. This represents how much the air affects the round. The heavier the round the more friction it will encounter. Numbers further from the 0 such as 0.0004 is less friction, close is more friction 0.04. Caliber is the raw armour penetration capability of the round. The higher the better.
