RE: best short action round
With the heaviest 30 caliber bullets, the 300 WM will outperform the 300 WSM. By enough to make any real world difference? Not IMO.

RE: best short action round
I have read that wsm advertised velocities are inflated. Any body chrono them ?
I also know that the Encore is not chambered in the WSM's, someting about pressures.The Ruger #1 also is not chambered in them for that reason. |

RE: best short action round
If you want a lighter magnum gun weight, shorter action, and same velocity performance as the 300WMandalittle better velocity performancewith 150-165 grain bullets, buy a 300WSM.Most guys that shoot WSM's and WM's will tell you the short-fat cases increase their accuracy and performance. Read up on it, it's very interesting even if the tighter groups at longer distances with WSM'sdon't effect your style of hunting. I think WSM's are a great alternative to traditional magnums.

RE: best short action round
Looked at different tables and yes they are almost identicle in those projectiles, the 300WSM is alittle faster. Sorry if that bothers you.[:o]
