[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1644818, member: 66917"] I've loaded for and hunted with 2 different WSMs. One in a 24in, SAKO A7, one in a 25in Douglas #2 on a Kimber Montana.. To get the most out of the cartridge I would choose a setup that allows you to get all the velocity you can if you want it, which seem to be about 24 inches of barrel. If you have 2-3 more inches of barrel it will give you the flexibility to get that extra 50-100fps to push heavy for Cal bullets or drop down to the lower ones. Maybe a 22 threaded would give you the best of both worlds. If you want a little more velocity you pop on your suppressor to shoot the heavier bullets. If you want to shoot a 165, pull the suppressor and you have handy shorter range rig. The 2 bullets that shot the best out at 400-700 yards in my WSMs were the 180 Nosler Accubond and the Berger 190 VLD. In the 0-300 region everything I tried shot really good. [/QUOTE]
