[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 429996, member: 14435"] I have both, and a rum. There is roughly a 50-100fps jump from the wsm to the win mag. I run 165 tsx in the wsm, and 180accubonds in the win mag since that is their respective fav bullet. I don't think there is much difference between them. You could get a bigger difference in speed just from the differences between rifles. I also don't see much difference in price between the same factory loads (both fed premium with the same bullets for example) I keep reading about the wsm losing out with bullets over 200gr, but unless your wsm is built on a rem M7 action there is plenty of length available. I have been able to push a 200gr accubond to just over 2900fps from the wsm, just over 3000fps from the win mag, and 3240 from the rum. All with under max book loads, and no signs of pressure. I say buy the rifle that fits you the best, and if that rifle is available with either chambering flip a coin... [/QUOTE]
