With factory ammo the performance is about the same. If you reload the 300 WM will outperform the WSM with its 10 grain larger case volume and the option for longer bullet seating lengths.
I would go with a controlled round feed system for the WSM to improve feeding with the short case and relatively sharp shoulders. Winchesters, some of the savages, and Kimber would fit the bill. It seems to me the 300 WSM is here to stay.
