[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 746778, member: 5219"] The WSM's body diameter is large which means if you intend to build your own rifle it is a consideration if you want it to feed from the magazine. I once checked my rifles and discovered to my surprise that the case wouldn't pass the feed rails on most of them. As already mentioned the magazines can be short for the WSMs but as I discoved it may not be an issue. A friend asked me to help him find a LR load for his 300 WSM Browning A-bolt with Boss. Magazine length was 2.8". I had some 230 target hybrids and gave them a try with RL-17. The bullet is buried in the case. . There was a jump to the rifling but hybrid didn't care. The rifle shot very well and the surprise was a velocity of 2720 from his 22" barrel! [/QUOTE]
