[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2511189, member: 87243"] 300 Max is just a 30-7 SAUM improved, so if both the max and WSM were throated equally, the wsm would be longer. Personally for the 175, I would see if I could get the 3.100" Wyatts box fitted in the action, and throat them as long as you could with the 175 and still fit, the max would likely even need a longer throat. You have probably seen my load work up on the Badlands thread of a savage ultra light with proof 24" tube chambered in a SAAMI spec WSM with the 175, more throat would REALLY help. I am at 2.930" OAL @ .055" off for best accuracy, but touching the lands @ 2.985" the bullet looks like this - [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220410_092108.jpg"]360015[/ATTACH] It is WAY down in there, the bearing surface is at the shoulder body junction. I'm not sure even adding .115" of throat to SAAMI to make it 3.100" @ lands would be enough for optimum seating, so for the 175 bdII, the Max may be a better option as far as optimal seating (the Max may even need an extended throat), and probably just a small amount less performance than a proper throated WSM.
