[QUOTE="MOJO67, post: 959573, member: 68532"] Think you mis-understood me. Yes, I agree, the WSM is a GREAT performer and offers enough additional over the WCF to justify it. What I was trying to say is, I love the WSM more for the way it handles with the compact, short action, than I do for the additional performance it offers over the WCF. As for 3500 fps, I don't doubt you saw 3500 fps on a chronograph, but I can assure you, if your load was pressure tested, it would be WAY over max...even if you have a fast barrel and use Moly. I hand load for my WSM and it maxes out around 3300 with 130's, but the case life sucks and the bolt get's a little sticky when the outside air temp goes up. Remember, just because you don't observe traditional pressure signs, doesn't mean you're not well over max. Hope you wear safety glasses when you shoot! [/QUOTE]
