[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 551767, member: 29890"] The 300wsm was designed with shorter barrels in mind, you can use healthy doses of hotter powders like the 4350s or RE17 and get a full burn in a 22-24" barrel, although the 300wsm shines brighter in a long action with a lot more throat where oal is 3.1" and longer and very heavy doses of H4831 or MRP can be used under 190-220grn bullets in 26-28" barrels, a lot of bench shooters have went to the wsm. Hybrid under a 208 amax works great in a 24" barrel, give it a try, I get 2838fps and can still go up 1.5grns. [/QUOTE]
