In the case of the one Federal load, it may on paper out perform the 7MM Rem but overall, it just doesn't happen. When you get to the heavier bullets according to Sierra, the 7mm Rem. will produce 150 fps more than the 7MM WSM. Simply a lack of room for powder in the WSM when longer bullets are used. Also, folks that I have talked to claim that when chronographing the actual loads at the range that the WSM does not quite live up to the claims. I think that its a fine performer but if I didn't reload, I wouldn't touch one.

I have a 270 WSM on order or I should say on layway at this time and am anxious to try it out.
