[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 480604, member: 2736"] Loading data can be deceiving and the simple truth lies in case capacity. that was what I was talking about and not taking sides with one case or another. The WSM is about .065 thousandths longer in the body and around 6 to 7 grains more case capacity on average over the SAUM and this does make a difference . Is it enough to buy something that would be your second choice? absolutely not. The difference in velocity in factory loads with 160grain bullets is 3160 ft/sec (The highest for the WSM) and 2960 ft/sec for the SAUM (Also the highest I could find) Re loaders can get closer together with there velocities and the margin is less. The same loads in two identical barrels will show differences in velocities and the bullet makers reloading manual will most always show there bullets have an advantage over the others. also most reloading manuals are calculated not fired to get velocities so take there results with a grain of salt. Like I said Don't get hung up on efficiencies pick the cartridge you like and be happy with it. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
