[QUOTE="Nomosendero, post: 507681, member: 3622"] I agree with all that you said here. Concerning factory loads, some fail to mention that the WSM is loaded to higher pressures than the 300WM to get those velocities, so you are measuring with a rubber ruler. If you load both rounds to the same pressure with 180gr. bullets & heavier, the 300WM wins. I can see where the WSM could have slightly more barrel life, but to get double the life & be closer to a 308 in that regard than a 300WM seems very unlikely indeed. Both are fine rounds, but the 300WM offers an edge for me at least. [/QUOTE]
