OK I just re-read your post and I missed the "lower recoil" part. What velocity will you be pushing them at? Most "reduced recoil" loads from the 300 WM (not sure about the WSM) tend to run at about 308 Win speeds, and if that is the case, I would still go with a heavier bullet, something like a 150 Accubond or so. If your speeds are going in the 2500fps range, the ballistic tip might just be the ticket. If you're goin 2700 or more go with the Accubond or similar. Heck at those speeds (2700plus) just use the cheap ole corelokts. They have worked for decades.
