My 300WSM was my go to rifle for two decades.
During that time it accounted for 3 of my 4 NA sheep and countless other animals.

Different cases, same bullet.Different bullets?
Look at the Sherman sst if you're worried about feeding, little less shoulder angle designed specifically to help feeding. That being said I have a 6.5 ss that feeds flawlessly out of Aics mags it's a little stiff feeling I guess but it's never failed to feed.I'm definitely going to look into 7's. Lots of compelling arguments here. Sounds like realistically, I should look more into either a SAUM or a Sherman Short whether it be a 30 or a 7.
Considering it all, it appears a guy can get into a higher BC with a shorter COAL in a 7, which I believe that would be a major factor with me needing to stay in a short action for this rifle. Would a guy be wrong for believing a SAUM would be easier to reliably feed in a magazine than a SS? It seems to me the SS is a simply improved SAUM; longer neck, less taper, different shoulder.
Looks like a different bullet also. Look at the lines on the paper as they don't line out to the bullet. Tips line up to the paper line but the OAL of the bullet looks significantly different.Different cases, same bullet.
SAUM left and Sherman Short right.
notice the amount of the case body used by the bullet, below the neck/shoulder junction
