[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 794232, member: 11717"] The case drawing I am looking at on Ammoguide shows the WBY with a 20* shoulder. It does have a slightly longer neck by about .023, but the WSM's sharper shoulder and sharper neck/shoulder junction (vs the radius WBY junction) I would think more than make up for the length difference. The RUM neck is close to the WBY in length but has a sharper 30* shoulder. I have never burned out a barrel in WSM, WBY or RUM so all I can go by is what I hear and read and I have heard and read WSM's get good barrel life in the 2000-3000 round range whereas the RUM maybe a 1000 or more with the WBY maybe a little more than the RUM. If a WBY can push a 210 bullet 3130 fps, that would equal the 300 RUM performance (in a 26 barrel). [/QUOTE]
